Rise up shepherd

 

Follow follow

Rise up shepherd and follow

Follow the star of Bethlehem

Rise up shepherd and follow

 

There's a star in the East

On Christmas morn

It will lead to the place

Where Savior was born

 

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

 

Leave your sheep and leave your lambs

Rise up shepherd and follow

Leave your ewes and leave your rams

Rise up shepherd and follow

 

Follow follow

Rise up shepherd and follow

Follow the star to Bethlehem

Rise up shepherd and follow
