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.
O give thanks to the Lord for He is good
His love endures forever
All my waywardness He has understood
His love endures forever
For He established the heavens in their way
His love endures forever
The moon and stars by night and the sun by day
His love endures forever
O love of loves that walked with me
Opened my eyes and let me see
Upon my own Emmaus road
I¹m walking to Jerusalem
And changed from glory into glory
All my life I will declare
His love endures forever
When I searched for You
You know I found You where
Your love endures forever
You¹re the Saviour of all Israel
Your love endures forever
So my voice shall sing and my tongue shall tell
That Your love endures forever
