There's a star in the east on Christmas morn.
Rise up, shepherd, and follow.
It will lead to the place where the Savior's born.
Rise up, shepherd, and follow.
Leave your flocks and leave your lambs,
Leave your ewes and leave your rams,
Follow, follow
Rise up, shepherd, and follow.
Follow the star of Bethlehem.
Rise up, shepherd, and follow.
If you take good heed to the angel's word,
Rise up, shepherd, and follow.
You'll forget your flocks, you'll forget your herd.
Rise up, shepherd, and follow.
