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.
Lift your hands, of saints of God, lift up your hands
Sing for joy unto the risen Son of man
Celebrate the life that's been reborn in you
Celebrate the One who's making all tings new
Hallelujah Christ is King
Hallelujah, rise and sing
Holy is our God
Wonderful is He
Holy is the Lord Almighty
Fall before your maker, every creature fall
Let your heart be still and know that He is God
Tremble at the feet of him upon the throne
Tremble men and angels before Him alone
Hallelujah, Christ is King
Hallelujah, rise and sing
Holy is our God
Wonderful is He
Holy is the Lord Almighty
Holy is our God
The prince of perfect peace
Holy is the Lord Almighty
To the One who reigns forever
To the ancient of all days
Be the glory, power, majesty, and praise
And the mountains bow and the rivers cry
Holy is our God
Over all the earth you reign
