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]
