1 There’s a star in the east on Christmas morn, Rise up shepherd and follow, It will lead to the place where the Christ was born, Rise up shepherd and follow.
Refrain: Follow, follow, Rise up shepherd and follow, Follow the Star of Bethlehem, Rise up shepherd and follow.
2 If you take good heed to the angel’s words, Rise up shepherd and follow, You’ll forget your flocks, you’ll forget your herds, Rise up shepherd and follow. [Refrain]
