Silent Night -  duet

I created this for a friend and her daughter to sing. It is a little different than the other versions of Silent Night offered here, though certainly draws from the ideas there (especially the choral version). I hope you enjoy it! 

Merry Christmas! (2023)

Voicing: SA or TB duet

LYRICS


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 sing Alleluia!

Christ, the Savior, is born!

Christ, the Savior, is born!


Silent night! Holy night!

Son of God, love's pure light

Radiant beams from thy holy face,

With the dawn of redeeming grace,

Jesus, Lord, at thy birth!

Prince of Peace!

Light of the world!

Jesus, Lord, at thy birth!
