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.
I heard the voice of Jesus saying
Come unto me all ye who are heavy laden
And I'll give you rest
Take my yoke and learn of me
For my yoke is easy and burdens they are light
I heard the voice of Jesus calling
From the greatest down to the smallest
Jesus said come to me and i'll
Show you what to do
Those who are battered and those abused
Those whose feeling like what's the use
Jesus said come to me and i'll show you
Just what I can do
Come unto me, i'll guarantee
All the ove and the tenderness
You'll ever need
Take my yoke upon you and learn of me
For my yoke is easy, For my yoke is easy
For my yoke is easy and burdens they are light
Come unto me
