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.
Lay down your burdens at the altar
Cast all your cares upon the Lord
There's just no reason for a heavy heart
No need to worry anymore
Join in the time of celebration
Offer your heart to Him alone
Worship His everlasting majesty
With angels and saints around the Throne
Praise the Lord with singing
Lift up joyful songs
Praise the Lord with dancing
He reigns victorious
Praise Him with shouts of joy
Praise the Lord with singing
Lift up joyful songs
Praise the Lord with dancing
He reigns victorious
Praise Him with shouts of joy
Praise Him with shouts of joy
Praise Him
With shouts of joy
