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.
With every rising sun
You paint the sky with light
With the glory and the splendor
Of your name
Before the world was formed
You were on your throne
There is no one like you
You are God alone
Adonai, elohai
My God, the great I am
King of heaven, son of man
The lion and the lamb
Who is to come
Who is to come
You hold creation
In the hollow of your hand
Yet your glory longs to dwell
In hearts of man
The majesty of heaven is your throne
There is no one like you
You are God alone
Holy, holy, holy is the lord God almighty
Who was and is, and is to come
