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.
All the broke weary and worn
Come rest your burden and dance again
All the beggars hungry and poor
Come to the arms of a faithful friend
All the orphaned, all the unknown
Come to the table, you have a place
All the outcasts, you have a home
Come trade your rags for a royal name
Oh, what a friend we have in Jeuss
All our sins and griefs to bear
Oh, what a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer
All the grateful lift high the name
The one who rescues, the one who saves
All the ransomed sing with no end
Around the throne of a faithful friend
Oh, what a friend we have in Jeuss
All our sins and griefs to bear
Oh, what a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer
Oh, oh (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Oh, what a friend (oh, oh, oh)
Oh, oh (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Oh, oh (oh, what a faithful friend)
Oh, what a friend
Oh, oh (faithful you are, my God)
Oh, oh (oh, oh, yeah)
Oh, what a friend we have in Jeuss
All our sins and griefs to bear
Oh, what a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer
Oh, what a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer
