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.
You have done great things (4x)
When the Lord brought back
The captive ones of Zion
We were like those who dream
Our mouths are filled with laughter
Our tongue with joyful shouting
They say among the nations
The Lord has done great things
for them
The Lord has done great things
for us (2x)
And we are filled with joy
We are filled with joy
You've restored our hearts
Like streams that flow
Those who sowed in tears
Have reaped their joy
And returned with shouts and songs
Carrying the fruit of God
