1. There’s a star in the East on Christmas morn,
Rise up, shepherd, and follow
It’ll lead to the place where the Savior’s born,
Rise up, shepherd, and follow.
Leave your sheep and leave your lambs
Rise up, shepherd, and follow
Leave your ewes and leave your rams
Rise up, shepherd, and follow
Follow, follow
Rise up, shepherd, and follow
Follow the star of Bethlehem
Rise up, shepherd, and follow.
2. If you take good heed of the angel’s words
Rise up, shepherd, and follow
You’ll forget your flocks, you’ll forget your herds
Rise up, shepherd, and follow.
