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.
Have you not known
Have you not heard
The everlasting God
The Lord the Creator
Of the ends of the earth
Neither faints nor is weary
There is no searching
Of His understanding
Those who wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strengh
Those who wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strengh
They shall mount up with wings
With wings like eagles
They shall run and not be weary
They shall walk and not faint
He giver power to the weak
And to those who have no might
He increases strengh
Even the youths
Shall faint and be weary
And the young men
Shall utterly shall utterly fall
