There's a star in the East on Christmas morn,
Rise up, shepherd and follow.
It will lead to the place where the babe is born.
Rise up, shepherd and follow. |

Follow the star of Bethlehem,
Rise up, shepherd and follow.

If you take good heed to the angel's words,
Rise up, shepherd and follow.
You'll forget you flocks, you'll forget your herds.
Rise up, shepherd and follow.
