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.
The sun went down like any other day
But unaware, the world just slept away
It was a silent night for many; some heard but didn't care
But to those who had been waiting the noise was everywhere
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory, glory to the newborn King
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory, glory to the newborn King
Glory, glory to the newborn King
The melody was carried by the wind
No need to fear, peace and goodwill to men
It echoed off the mountains and it filled the valleys low
A good news celebration so everyone would know
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory, glory to the newborn King
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory, glory to the newborn King
Glory, glory to the newborn King
Angels sing (glory, glory)
To the king (glory, glory)
Spread the joy across the land
Christ is born in Bethlehem
Angels sing (glory, glory)
To the King (glory, glory)
Come and worship and adore
He will reign forevermore
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory, glory to the newborn King
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory, glory to the newborn King
Glory, glory to the newborn King
