Rise Up, Shepherd, and Follow

Lyrics

(Solo) There’s a star in the east on Christmas morn;
(Together) Rise up, shepherd, and follow;
(Solo) It will lead to the place where the Christ was born;
(Together) Rise up, shepherd, and follow.

Refrain: Follow, follow; rise up, shepherd, and follow,
Follow the star of Bethlehem;
Rise up, shepherd, and follow.

(Solo) Leave your sheep, leave your sheep, and leave your lambs;
(Together) Rise up, shepherd, and follow;
(Solo) Leave your ewes and your rams, leave your ewes and rams;
(Together) Rise up, shepherd, and follow.
Refrain

(Solo) If you take good heed to the angel’s words;
(Together) Rise up, shepherd, and follow;
(Solo) You’ll forget your flocks, you’ll forget your herds;
(Together) Rise up, shepherd, and follow.
Refrain
