La música cristiana es de origen judío: la liturgia musical de la sinagoga, en particular el canto psalmódico de los judíos como unidad poética musical, fue un legado preciado transmitido del Israel antiguo al cristianismo primitivo, como forma de manifestar tanto a nivel personal como comunitario las creencias religiosas y la fe en Dios.
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father
There is no shadow of turning with Thee
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be
Summer and winter and springtime and harvest
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love
Chorus:
Great is Thy faithfulness (oh father)
Great is Thy faithfulness
Morning by morning new mercies I see
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth (that endureth)
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide (cheer and to guide)
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside
Repeat Chorus
Repeat Chorus (with stepouts)
Great is Thy faithfulness (Great is Thy faithfulness)
Great is Thy faithfulness (Great are You Lord)
Great is Thy faithfulness Lord unto me
