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