212. 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 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]
