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 am on my way to Heaven where the saints are robed in white
Shouting glory (hallelujah!)
Shouting glory (hallelujah!)
To that blessed land immortal where can never come the night
Shouting glory (hallelujah!)
All the way! (All the way!)

O glory, hallelujah!
I am on the way to Heaven
Shouting glory (hallelujah!)
Shouting glory (hallelujah!)
O glory, hallelujah!

All the way! (All the way!)
