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.
You are holy, holy, holy, holy lord
You are holy, holy, the whole earth is full of your glory
I see you high and lifted up beyond the skies
I see your throne as the train of your robe fills the temple
Your train so majestic for it shows every victory you've won for me
You're my conquering king, the one who fights for me,
Even death is swallowed up in victory because
You are holy, holy, holy, holy lord
You are holy, holy, the whole earth is full of your glory
Faithful and true, in righteousness you judge and make war
Your eyes a flaming fire, from your mouth comes a sharp two-edged sword
On your vesture dipped in blood is written king of kings and lord of lords
To you be all the blessing, dominion, and power now and forever amen
Holy, worthy, righteous, and lovely
Faithful, jehovah, yeshua, messiah
Creator, redeemer, restorer, my healer
The whole earth is full of your glory
