The Songs of the Bible

The Songs of the Bible, Rising to the Song of the Lamb

The Bible does not only speak; it sings. Israel sings at the sea, Hannah sings for a son, Mary sings the Magnificat, old Simeon sings his farewell, and heaven sings a new song to the Lamb who was slain. Each page below takes one song, its occasion, and how it rises toward Christ, from the older songs that point ahead to the New Testament canticles that name Him outright.
