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.
Verse 1:
Holy, holy, holy, Lord, God Almighty,
early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee.
Holy, Holy, Holy, merciful and mighty,
God in three persons, Blessed Trinity.
Verse 2:
Holy, holy, holy, all the saints adore Thee,
casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea.
Cherubim and Seraphim falling down before Him,
which wert and art and evermore shall be.
Bridge:
Ah...
Holy, holy, Lord, God Almighty.
Verse 3:
Holy, holy, holy, though the darkness hide thee,
though the eye of sinful man thy Glory may not see.
Only Thou art holy, there is none be side thee,
You are perfect in power, in love and purity.
Ha, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.
Holy, holy, holy, Lord, God Almighty,
God in three persons, Blessed Trinity.
Vamp:
Holy, holy,
holy, holy.

Oh hallelujah, hallelujah,
we praise Your name, Your name.
