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
