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.
Prepare ye the way of the Lord
Prepare ye the way of the Lord
Oh, the way of the Lord
Make straight paths for His feet
Clear a way in the streets
Prepare your hearts to meet
The One who is coming
Every valley shall be raised
The rough places become plains
His salvation comes today
To those who would receive Him
What His words have foretold
All together we'll behold
Every knee bending low
On the day of His coming
Now is a time of urgency
You must repent and believe
For the day of reckoning
Comes with His coming
