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.
Angels, angels in the night
Angels, angels from on high
Messengers of grace, messengers of light
Angels, angels fill the skies
Angels from the highest heights
Glory all around, heaven reaching out
The song we've never heard, how beautiful the sound
Singing, glooria, glooria
Singing, glooria, glooria
This day, a Savior has been born
Jesus, He is Christ, the Lord
This will be a sign, you will find a Child
And suddenly the sky, was filled with sacred choirs
And they sang, glory to God in the highest heaven
Peace on the earth to those on whom His favour rests
In the name of love, God is with us now
Mercy coming close, majesty touched down
Glooria, singing, glooria, glooria
