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.
Oh lord my god, when i in awesome wonder
Consider all the world thy hands have made
I see the stars, i hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displayed
Then sings my soul, my savior god to thee
How great thou art, how great thou art
Then sings my soul, my savior god to thee
How great thou art, how great thou art
And when i think that god, his son not sparing
Sent him to die i scarce can take it in
That on the cross my burden gladly bearing
He bled and died to take away my sin
Then sings my soul, my savior god to thee
How great thou art, how great thou art
Then sings my soul, my savior god to thee
How great thou art, how great thou art
When christ shall come with shout of acclamation
And take me home what joy shall feel my heart
Then i shall bow in humble adoration and there proclaim
My god, how great thou art
Then sings my soul, my savior god to thee
How great thou art, how great thou art
Then sings my soul, my savior god to thee
How great thou art, how great thou art
How great thou art, how great thou art
How great thou art
