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.
We were pressed on every side
Full of fear and troubled thoughts
For good reason we carried heavy hearts
It is good to come together
In our friendship to remember
All the reasons hope is in our hearts
Hallelujah hallelujah
Christ our joy and strength
Hallelujah hallelujah
Christ our joy and strength
Now with patience in our suffering
Perseverance in our prayers
With good reason this hope is in our hearts
Hallelujah hallelujah
Christ our joy and strength
Hallelujah hallelujah
Christ our joy and strength
Oh we saw the face of Angels
Many good things well secured
For good reason this joy is in our hearts
Hallelujah hallelujah
Christ our joy and strength
Hallelujah hallelujah
Christ our joy and strength
Hallelujah hallelujah
Christ our joy and strength
Hallelujah hallelujah
Christ our joy and strength
For good reason joy is in our hearts
