Rise Up, Shepherd, and Follow

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.

Leave your sheep, leave your sheep,

and leave your lambs;

Rise up, shepherd, and follow;

Leave your ewes and your rams,

leave your ewes and rams;

Rise up, shepherd, and follow.

3.

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.
