賛美歌

A fundamental expression of worship found from Exodus to Revelation. Moses and Miriam sang after the Red Sea crossing (Exodus 15). David composed psalms and organized temple musicians (1 Chronicles 25). Paul instructed believers to address 'one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing and making music from your heart to the Lord' (Ephesians 5:19, Colossians 3:16). Singing expresses joy (James 5:13), teaches doctrine (Colossians 3:16), and strengthens community. Revelation 5:9-10 portrays the redeemed singing 'a new song' before the Lamb. God himself rejoices over his people with singing (Zephaniah 3:17).
