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.
Come fall at his feet,
Won't you sing, sing to the king
Go tell everyone that Christ is born
Glory fills the sky
As Mary sings a lullaby
Emmanuel is born tonight
Give all that you are
Follow the star
And leave all that you have behind
Glory fills the sky
As Mary sings a lullaby
Emmanuel is born tonight
Hope has come to us
The maker of the universe
Emmanuel is born tonight
Holy, holy, God almighty….
