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.
Man of sorrows, what a Name
For the son of God who came
Ruined sinners to reclaim
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
Bearing shame and scoffing rude
In my place condemned he stood
Sealed my pardon with his blood
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
Guilty, vile, and helpless we
Spotless Lamb of God was he
Full atonement
Can it be?
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
Lifted up was He to die
It is finished
Was His cry
Now in heaven exalted high
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
When He comes, our glorious King
All His rasomed home to bring
With a new song we will sing
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
What a Savior! What a Savior!
What a Savior!
What a Savior!
