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.
‘Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus
Just to take him at his word
Just to rest upon his promise
And to know thus saith the lord
Oh, how sweet to trust in Jesus
Just to trust his cleansing blood
And in simple faith to plunge me
‘Neath the healing, cleansing flood
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust him
How I’ve proved him o’er and o’er
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus
Oh, for grace to trust him more
Yes, ’tis sweet to trust in Jesus
Just from sin and self to cease
Just from Jesus simply taking
Life and rest, and joy and peace
I’m so glad I learned to trust you
Precious Jesus, savior, friend
And I know that you are with me
And will be with me to the end.
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust him
How I’ve proved him o’er and o’er
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus
Oh, for grace to trust him more
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust you
How I’ve proved you o’er and o’er
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus
Oh, for grace to trust you
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust you
How I’ve proved you o’er and o’er
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus
Oh, for grace to trust you more
