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.
Children lay sleeping
Hearts set a glow
Streets are silent
And covered in snow
Almost christmas
Heavenly hosts
Prepare to sing
They wait for the tidings
Of joy they will bring
At christmas
Almost christmas
Come flowering our homes
For the light of the world
To come as a child born of the world
At christmas
Long with our burdens
What else can we bring
To a savior in waiting
The song that we sing
At christmas
Almost christmas
Children lay sleeping
Hearts set a glow
Streets are silent
Covered in snow
