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.
in union with the Lamb
from condemnation free
the saints from everlasting were
and shall for ever be
in covenant from of old
the sons of God they were
the feeblest lamb in Jesus' fold
was blessed in Jesus there
chorus
its bonds shall never break
though earth's old columns bow
the strong, the tempted, & the weak
are one in Jesus now
when storms or tempests rise
or sins your peace assail
your hope in Jesus never dies
'tis cast within the veil
chorus
BRIDGE
here let the weary rest
who love the Savior's name
though with no sweet enjoyments blessed
this covenant stands the same
chorus
