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.
The Earth is full of the unfailing goodness of the Lord
By His commands, were made the heavens
And the waters of the sea
Were held in place
Come and sing to the Lord
With this sing we''ll praise Him
Come and sing to the Lord
With shouts of joy
Come and sing to Lord
With this song we''ll praise Him
Sing praise to the Lord
With a new song
