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.
Verse:
A parade began at Calvary, The saints of all the ages fill it's praise, For the sands of time they're marching, To their King's great coronation, And this could be the dawning of that day
Chorus:
This could be the dawning, Of that grand and glorious day, When the face of Jesus we behold, Dream and hopes of all the ages are awaiting His returning, And this could be the dawning of that day
Verse:
All the saints are getting restless, They're not bound by shackles forged of earthly gold, Since that day they knelt at Calvary, They've been pilgrims ever wandering, Just looking for a place to rest their souls
(Repeat Chorus)
Tag:
Until then my heart will go on singing, Until then with joy I'll carry on
Dreams and hopes of all the ages, are awaiting His returning, And this could be the dawning of that day
