Lyrics of Silent Night / Away In A Manger by Relient K

Silent night, Holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin Mother and Child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night,
Shepherds quake, at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heav’nly hosts they sing Allelluia
Christ the savior is born
Christ the savior is born.

Away in a manger, no crib for his bed,
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.
The stars in the sky looked down where he lay,
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
