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 bind unto myself today
The power of God to hold and lead
His eye to watch, His might to stay
His ear to hearken to my need
I bind unto myself today
The power of God to hold and lead
His eye to watch, His might to stay
His ear to hearken to my need
The wisdom of my God to teach
His hand to guide, His shield to ward
The word of God to give me speech
His heavenly host to be my guard
(Four times)
The mighty Three my protection be
Encircling me, You are around
My life, my home encircling me
Oh, sacred Three, the mighty Three
The mighty Three my protection be
Encircling me, You are around
My life, my home encircling me
Oh, sacred Three, the mighty Three
