“Silent Night,” Friend, Dec. 2012, 7 I Can Play It! Silent Night (Simplified) Words by Joseph Mohr Music by Franz Gruber Translated by John F. Young Peacefully 80–100 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; Jesus, Lord, at thy birth. Arr. © 2012 IRI. All rights reserved.
