Revelation-Inspired Hymns and Songs
compiled by Dr. Ralph F. Wilson
The book of Revelation has inspired many hymns and songs over the years. The throne-room scene in Rev 4-5 has spawned a number of "Worthy" songs. Also the vision of the conquering King in Rev 19, the judgment in Rev 20, and the vision of heaven in Rev 21-22 have been particularly rich. "Crossing Jordan" and the "River of Life" are themes found in many songs. I haven't tried to be comprehensive here, just collect some of the songs that seem more popular. Enjoy. -- Pastor Ralph
