Have You Heard of The Song of Moses & the Lamb?

Have you had the opportunity to read this passage in the Bible?

As a lover of hymnals, I was intrigued to read this and contemplate the possibility of whether some of the hymns sung here are also sung in the heaven.

Well, let’s find out:

In Revelation 15:3-4, the victorious saints and angels sing “the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb” (Jesus). This dual song symbolizes the continuity of God’s redemptive work in both the Old and New Testaments.

“Great and marvelous are your deeds,
    Lord God Almighty.
Just and true are your ways,
    King of the nations.[a]
4 Who will not fear you, Lord,
    and bring glory to your name?
For you alone are holy.
All nations will come
    and worship before you,
for your righteous acts have been revealed.

Remember, Jesus also said

“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. Matthew 5:17

Here’s why we think they sing both songs:

1. The Song of Moses represents Deliverance from Bondage

  • This likely refers to Exodus 15, where Moses and Israel sang after crossing the Red Sea, celebrating God’s victory over Pharaoh (Exodus 15:1-18).
  • It represents God’s judgment on evil and the deliverance of His people from oppression.
  • In Revelation, this theme is echoed as God defeats the Beast (Antichrist) and delivers His people from persecution.

2. The Song of the Lamb represents Redemption through Christ

  • This is a new song (Revelation 5:9-10) praising Jesus for salvation through His blood.
  • It celebrates victory over sin and death, achieved by Christ’s sacrifice and resurrection.
  • The “Lamb” (Jesus) is the fulfillment of the Exodus story—freeing believers from spiritual slavery.

Why Did They Sing Both Songs Together?

  • To show the continuity of salvation history, the Exodus was a foreshadowing of Christ’s greater redemption.
  • To show God’s faithfulness: Just as God saved Israel, He now saves the Church through Jesus.
  • To reveal the Final Victory: The plagues in Revelation (like the Exodus plagues) lead to ultimate deliverance.

The angels and saints sing both songs because they celebrate God’s consistent character as a deliverer in Moses’ time and a savior in Jesus.

The Exodus was a shadow; the Cross is the fulfillment. Together, they proclaim: God judges evil, saves His people, and reigns forever.
