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 let's give all the praise to God
He's worthy of all our praise
He's been so good through eternity
We come to give Him all our praise
He's been so kind through eternity
We come to give Him all our praise
Come lets praise the Lord
For all time
I believe that the Lord my God
Will come and deliver me
I lift my eyes to the hills of Jerusalem
From where, from where cometh my help
My help cometh from Jehovah God
He will surely come and deliver me
Thula sizwe
Unga bokala
