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.
I can see Jesus, high and exalted
My eyes are fixed upon His face
It shines like the sun
I can see Jesus, clothed in glory
He is high and lifted up
And His train fills the temple
And all of the angels cry Holy
All the saints cry Holy
All creation cries Holy
Holy is the Lamb
All praise unto the Lamb Who sits on the throne
Honor and power, dominion and praise
Unto the Lamb
Who was and is and is to come
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah
All praise unto the Lamb Who sits on the throne
Honor and power, dominion and praise
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah
