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.
My stubborn will at last has yielded
I would be thine and thine alone
And this prayer my lips are bringing
Lord, let in me thy will be done
CHORUS
Sweet will of God, unfold me closer
Til I am wholly lost in thee
Sweet will of God, still fold me closer
Ti I am wholly lost in thee
I am tired of sin, footsore and weary
The dark some path hath dreary grown
But now a light has risen to cheer me
I find in thee my Star, my sun
Repeat Chorus
Thy precious will, O conquering Savior
Doth now embrace and compass me
The storms have ceased, my peace a river
My soul a prisoned bird set free
