Revelation 15:1–4
The Song of Moses and the Lamb
John sees another great sign in heaven: seven angels with the seven last plagues. With these, God's wrath is completed.
He also sees something like a sea of glass mixed with fire. Beside it stand those victorious over the beast, its image, and the number of its name.
Holding harps from God, they sing the song of Moses, God's servant, and the song of the Lamb.
What does their song say?
They praise the Lord God Almighty for his great and marvelous works. They declare his ways just and true.
They ask who would not fear the Lord and glorify his name, because he alone is holy.
All nations will come and worship before him, because his righteous acts have been revealed.
This is a plain-language summary of the song. Read verses 3–4 for its wording in Scripture.
Pause and notice
What are the singers holding? Whose works and ways do they praise?
Look back at the passage
They hold harps from God. They praise God's works and his just and true ways.

The title names the song of Moses and the Lamb. These verses do not describe Moses standing among the singers or a visible Lamb beside the sea.
The seven angels introduced in verse 1 will be the focus of the next room. We follow the order of the vision without assigning a modern date.
