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.
How great are God's signs
Mighty are His wonders
His Kingdom has no end
Through all generations
A tree so tall it was visible to all
Fruit so abundant
The birds and beasts lived under it
A holy one said
A holy one said
A holy one said
A holy one said
Chop down the tree
Strip off and scatter all the fruit
Chop down the tree
Let the birds and beasts flee
For I am God no kingdom comes above me
For I am God no Kingdom comes above me
For I am God no Kingdom comes above me
