Rise Up, Shepherd, and Follow (traditional)

There’s a star in the East on Christmas morn
Rise up, shepherd, and follow
It will lead to the place where the Saviour was born
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 of Bethlehem
Rise up, shepherd, and follow

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 of Bethlehem
Rise up, shepherd, and follow
Rise up, shepherd, and follow
Rise up, shepherd, and follow
