Songs In The Bible

Songs in the Bible.jpg

There are about 185 songs in the Bible, most of which are found in the book of Psalms. There are in the neighborhood of 35 songs, chants, dirges, and hymns scattered throughout the New Testament. The first song is the song of Moses found in Exodus 15 and the last song is in Revelation 15 with a similar message of God conquering the enemy.

“And they sang the song of Moses, the bond-servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying,

“Great and marvelous are Your works,

O Lord God, the Almighty;

Righteous and true are Your ways,

King of the nations!

“Who will not fear, O Lord, and glorify Your name?

For You alone are holy;

For all the nations will come and worship before You,

For Your righteous acts have been revealed.”

Revelation 15:3-4 (NASB)

Solomon wrote 1,005 songs according to 1 Kings 4:32. His best known tune was the Song of Songs, also known as the Song of Solomon, the well-known love story.

The book of Lamentations is also full of songs in the form of five dirges mourning the fall of Jerusalem.

It seems clear that music plays an important role in our worship to God.

Praise the Lord!

Praise God in His sanctuary;

Praise Him in His mighty expanse.

Praise Him for His mighty deeds;

Praise Him according to His excellent greatness.



Praise Him with trumpet sound;

Praise Him with harp and lyre.

Praise Him with timbrel and dancing;

Praise Him with stringed instruments and pipe.

Praise Him with loud cymbals;

Praise Him with resounding cymbals.

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.

Praise the Lord!

Psalm 150 (NASB)
