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.
Halle hallelujah
O shout for joy
When the fallen tent of David
Has been restored
I'll bring back tha captive of my people
My people Israel
They shall build the broken walls and cities
And live in them
I will call my people from the nations
I'll plant them in their land
They shall grow and flourish as a vineyard
Not be moved again
Halle hallelujah
O shout for joy
When the fallen tent of David
Has been restored
I will reap a harvest from the nations
I'll bring them by the land
Jew and gentile worshiping together
As one new man
Strike the harp and play upon the timbrel
O children dance and sing
Shout for joy worship Him forever
Messiah King
Oh Messiah King
Halle hallelujah
O shout for joy
When the fallen tent of David
Has been restored
