There's a star in the east on Christmas morn

Rise up shepherd and follow

It'll lead to the place where the Savior born

Rise up shepherd and follow



Leave your ewes and leave your lambs

Rise up shepherd and follow

Leave your sheep and leave your rams

Rise up shepherd and follow

Rise up shepherd and follow

Follow the Star of Bethlehem

Rise up shepherd and follow



If you take good heed to the Savior's words

Rise up shepherd and follow

You'll forget your flocks,

You'll forget your herds

Rise up shepherd and follow



Leave your ewes and leave your lambs

Rise up shepherd and follow

Leave your sheep and leave your rams

Rise up shepherd and follow

Rise up shepherd and follow

Follow the Star of Bethlehem
