Follow Now, Oh Shepherds

(albüm: The Last Month Of The Year - 1960)

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
