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.
There's a song that's on my lips from the moment that I rise
To the One who rescued me and brought me to life
Praise awaits You at the dawn, praise awaits You in the night
With the heavens I will sing and lift You high
Glory be to God the Father, glory be to God the Son
Glory be to God the Spirit, all glory to the One
Glory to the Lord almighty, glory to the King most high
Glory be to God forever, all glory to the One
As it was and is and ever shall be, amen, amen
As it was and is and ever shall be, amen, amen
Glory be to God
Oh, glory be to God
Oh, glory be, oh, glory be to
