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.
Come see the baby, crib for a bed
His mother Mary lay down His sweet head
The starlight was shining, the wisemen were led
Come see the baby and worship Him
His name is Wonderful Counselor
Mighty God, Prince of Peace
Everlasting Father, Emmanuel, Holy One, Son of God
Savior of the world
Come and adore Him on bended knee
He came to ransom someone like me
What could I offer, what could I bring
Come and adore Him, King of Kings
His name is Wonderful Counselor
Mighty God, Prince of Peace
Everlasting Father, Emmanuel, Holy One, Son of God
Savior of the world
And the greatness of His reign will never end
Let there be peace on earth and all goodwill to men
Come let us worship Him
Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Prince of Peace
Everlasting Father, Emmanuel
Holy One, Son of God, Savior of the world
His name is Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God
Prince of Peace, Everlasting Father, Emmanuel
Holy One, Son of God, the Savior of the world
