Lyrics:

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

Oh yes the Lord is come oh yes the King is here
And all around the manger they stood in silent prayer
(Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah)

The cattle grazing in the fields could hear the shepherds pray
They turned and slowly came to find the stranger in the hay
They bowed their heads in silence there was no sign of fear
And all around the manger they stood in silent prayer

Repeat #2

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

Oh yes the Lord is come oh yes the King is here
And all around the manger they stood in silent prayer
(Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah)
