Follow now, O shepherds, rise up from your sleeping
Angels far from here a blessed watch are keeping
Look up, look up, a star shines in the heavens
Calling us to come, our holy King is given
We must leave our flocks, the night is swiftly flying
Trust a star to show us where the Child is lying
Prepare a gift that we would place before Him
We are humble shepherds, yet would we adore Him?
Look up, look up, a star shines in the heavens
Calling us to come, our holy King is given
Can this be a King? His room is but a manger
Humbly born is He, yet safe from earthly danger
He is the King, Almighty power possessing
He is heaven's gift, this is the Christmas blessing
Look up, look up, a star shines in the heavens
Calling us to come, our holy King is given
