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.
Hush little baby don’t you cry
Heaven’s watching out for you tonight
Watching you tonight
Hush little baby don’t you fret
Nothing’s gonna hurt you
Not even death
No not even death
Lullaby
Let heaven and angels sing for you tonight
For you tonight
This is our lullaby
Peace on earth has finally arrived
Hush now Mary don’t be afraid
Baby done come to clear the way
Come to clear the way
Hush now Joseph, don’t you fuss
Soon this child gonna carry us
Gonna carry us
Lullaby
Let heaven and angels sing for you tonight
For you tonight
This is our lullaby
Peace on earth has finally arrived
The day will come soon enough
When you are singing over us
But tonight sleep in heavenly peace
And we’ll be the ones to sing
Lullaby
Let heaven and angels sing for you tonight
For you tonight
This is our lullaby
Peace on earth has finally arrived
Hush little baby don’t you cry
Heaven’s watching out for you tonight
Watching you tonight
