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.
Holy, holy, holy Lord God Almighty
Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee
Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty
God in three persons, blessed Trinity
Holy, holy, holy though the darkness hide Thee
Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see
Only Thou art holy, there is none beside Thee
Perfect in power, in love, and purity
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Jesus reigns
Holy, holy, holy Lord God Almighty
All Thy works shall praise Thy name, in earth
And sky, and sea
Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty
God in three persons, blessed Trinity
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Jesus reigns
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Jesus reigns
Let all the earth proclaim, all the people sing
You are holy, You are holy
Let all the Heavens ring, worthy is the King
You are holy, You are holy
Let all the earth proclaim, all the people sing
You are holy, You are holy
Let all the Heavens ring, worthy is the King
You are holy, You are holy
Holy, holy, holy Lord God Almighty
God in three persons, blessed Trinity
Blessed Trinity, blessed Trinity
