The little lambs were standing there beside the holy babe

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
G Am G Am
(Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah)

And all around the manger they stood in silent prayer

E7 Am D E Am
And all around the manger they stood in silent prayer
