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.
There is a song, I know it well
A melody that's never failed
On mountains high, in valleys low
My soul will rest, my confidence, in you alone
Hope has a name, his name is Jesus
My savior's cross has set this sinner free
Hope has a name, his name is Jesus
Oh, Christ be praised, I have victory
There is a light, salvation's flame
Christ undefeated, trampled the grave
See now the cross, be lifted high
The light has come, the light has won, behold the Christ
Hope has a name, his name is Jesus
My savior's cross has set this sinner free
Hope has a name, his name is Jesus
Oh, Christ be praised, I have victory
Hope has a name, his name is Jesus
My savior's cross has set this sinner free
Hope has a name, his name is Jesus
Oh, Christ be praised, I have victory
There'll be a day my hope complete
Now home in glory, your face I'll see
My pain no more, my fear will cease
I bow my life, I fix my eyes, on Christ my king
I bow my life, I fix my eyes, on Christ my king
Hope has a name, his name is Jesus
My savior's cross has set this sinner free
Hope has a name, his name is Jesus
Oh, Christ be praised, I have victory
Hope has a name, his name is Jesus
My savior's cross has set this sinner free
Hope has a name, his name is Jesus
Oh, Christ be praised, I have victory
Oh, Christ be praised, I have victory
