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.
Eternities
Eternity's eternal song,
Is drawing me away, it's calling me away
It's calling me away
All flesh is grass, fading away.
Only You last, only You remain
All flesh is grass, fading away.
Only You last, only You remain same,
You never change.
Holy, holy, holy,
You are fairer than then sons of men
Eternities
Eternity's eternal song,
Is drawing me away, it's calling me away
It's calling me away
Surely man is like the flower of the field,
And life is but a vapor, at best but a vapor.
Surely man is like a flower of the field,
And the fragrance but a vapor, at best but a vapor.
But you O God,
Are better than a thousand blooms.
Hallelujah, Amen!
Eternities
Eternity's eternal song,
Is drawing me away, it's calling me away
It's calling me away
Eternities
Eternity's eternal song
