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.
Whatever is true
What ever is noble
Whatever is right
Whatever is pure
Whatever is lovely
Whatever is praiseworthy
Think upon these things
Rejoice in the Lord always
I will say it again
Rejoice in the Lord always
I will say it again
Rejoice
Whatever you learn
Or you've received
Or heard from me
Or seen in me
Do these things
And the God
Of peace will be with you
Rejoice in the Lord always
I will say it again
Rejoice in the Lord always
I will say it again
Rejoice
Rejoice
Oh rejoice
The Lord is near
There is peace
The Lord is near
He is with you
The Lord is near
There is peace
The Lord is near
He is with you
The Lord is near
There is peace
The Lord is near
He is with you
Rejoice in the Lord always
I will say it again
Rejoice in the Lord always
I will say it again
Rejoice in the Lord always
I will say it again
Rejoice in the Lord always
I will say it again
