Original lyrics
ENFollow 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 pow'r 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.
