Charley Pride - They Stood In Silent Prayer lyrics
[Charley Pride - They Stood In Silent Prayer 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
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)
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
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)
