There's a star in the East
On Christmas morn
Rise up shepherd and follow
It will lead to the place
Where the Saviour's born
Rise up shepherd and follow

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

Leave your sheep
And leave your lambs
Rise up shepherd and follow
Leave you ewes
And leave your rams
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
