1 There's a star in the east on Christmas morn.
Rise up, shepherd, and follow.
It will lead to the place where the Savior's 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 word,
rise up, shepherd, and follow.
You'll forget your flock, you'll forget your herd.
Rise up, shepherd, and follow. [Refrain]
