The little lambs were standing there beside the holy babe
     C                                   G                  C
They gazed with awe upon the child while shepherds knelt to pray
     E                 Am             G            C
They seemed at once to understand the wonder lying there
    E7             Am          D        E      Am
And all around the manger they stood in silent prayer

F  G               C    F  G               C
Oh yes the Lord is come oh yes the King is here
    E7             Am          D        E      Am
And all around the manger they stood in silent prayer
 G    Am    G    Am
(Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah)

The cattle grazing in the fields could hear the shepherds pray
     C                                  G               C
They turned and slowly came to find the stranger in the hay
     E7                   Am            G              C
They bowed their heads in silence there was no sign of fear

And all around the manger they stood in silent prayer

The ass the oxen soon appeared for they had been afraid
     C              Am                  D    G       C
They could not understand the gatherin' everyone had made
    E                 Am               G               C
And then they saw the Christ Child now sleeping in his bed
   E                  Am          D      E           Am
At once they knew the meaning and slowly bowed their heads
