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.
Be Thou my vision
O Lord of my heart
Naught be all else to me
Save that Thou art
Thou my best thought
By day and by night
Waking or sleeping
Thy presence my light
Open my eyes to see
Lord, bind my heart to Thee
I yield my life complete
Be Thou my vision
Be Thou my wisdom
And Thou my true word
I ever with Thee
And Thou with me Lord
Thou my great Father
And I Thy true son
Thou in me dwelling
And I with Thee one
Open my eyes to see
Lord, bind my heart to Thee
I yield my life complete
Be Thou my vision
High King of heaven
My victory won
May I reach Heaven's joys
O bright Heaven's Sun
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall
Still be my vision, O Ruler of all
Open my eyes to see
Lord, bind my heart to Thee
I yield my life complete
Be Thou my vision
Open my eyes to see
Lord, bind my heart to Thee
I yield my life complete
Be Thou my vision
