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.
There's a light in the evening
By the house with a window
As she sleeps I hear the
ticking of the clock
When the cool of the morning
Brings a hush to the shadow
In the hall
There's a skylight to the dark
Hush
Baby don't you cry
And I will sing a lullaby
And I can see
I've been away too long
Dusting out the closet by the stairs
When the door swinging open
Bring her smile to the window
In the sky
I see a hundred angels there
Hush
Baby don't you cry
And I will sing a lullaby
