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.
Voice of mercy, breath of God
Life from life sustaining us
Earth below and skies above
Beautiful redemption's song
Melodies like morning rise
Darkness leaning toward the dawn
Into our sorrow sings the light
Beautiful redemption song
Hallelujah, love is come
Hallelujah, God with us
Hope restored and death undone
Beautiful redemption song
Weeping will not last the night
Nor will sadness be for long
Joy was born of sacrifice
Beautiful redemption song
Hallelujah, love is come
Hallelujah, God with us
Hope restored and death undone
Beautiful redemption song
Let the wounded come and see
Empty grave and lifted stone
Sinners saved and captives, free
Beautiful redemption song
