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.
Come let us praise him
Let us kneel at the throne of our God
Through his son our salvation was bought
With mercy and grace
Come let us bow down
In his hand are the depths of the earth
With one voice we proclaim his great worth
Lord our God
And we will seek him
Our rock of salvation
Morning by morning
With thanksgiving we come
And we will bow down
With creation we cry out
In daylight and darkness
We sing to the Lord
Great is our God
Lord of all nations
We will stand at the end of our days
In your courts and declare your great ways
In spirit and truth
We long for your kingdom
Bring your thunder and gather the earth
All who tremble will tell of your worth
Lord our God
And we will seek him
Our rock of salvation
Morning by morning
With thanksgiving we come
And we will bow down
With creation we cry out
In daylight and darkness
We sing to the Lord
Great is our God
