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

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 words
Rise up, shepherd, and follow
You'll forget your flocks, you'll forget your herds
Rise up, shepherd, and follow

Follow, follow, rise up, shepherd, and follow
Follow the Star of Bethlehem
Rise up, shepherd, and follow
