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
