1. There's a star in the East on Christmas morn, rise up, shepherd, and follow; it will lead to the place where 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)
