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.
Some glad morning when this life is over
I'll fly away
To a home on God's celestial shore
I'll fly away
I'll fly away, Oh Glory
I'll fly away
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by
I'll fly away
And when the shadows of this life are gone
I'll fly away
Like a bird from prison bars has flown
I'll fly away
Oh I'll fly away, Oh Glory
I'll fly away
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by
I'll fly away
I'm going to fly away
Just a few more weary days and then
I'll fly away
To a land where joy shall never end
I'll fly away
Oh I'll fly away, Oh Glory
I'll fly away
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by
I'll fly away
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by
I'll fly away
