    Am                         G       E             Am
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
[Chorus]
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

(Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah)

Am                        G            E7                 Am
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

    E7             Am          G        E      Am
And all around the manger they stood in silent prayer
[Chorus]
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

Am                      G          E              Am
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
[Chorus]
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
