8 Worship Songs About The Angels (Heaven’s Chorus)

In Revelation 5, John sees a vision of worship that involves “myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands” of angels circling the throne. Worship isn’t something we start; it’s something we join. The song of heaven has been going on for eternity, and when we gather on Sunday, we are simply tuning into that frequency.

These songs are “throne room” anthems. They use the language of the angels—”Holy, Holy, Holy”—and remind the church that we are part of a cosmic choir that is much larger than the people in the room.

Why These Songs Lift The Eyes

We selected these songs because:

  • They are biblical. They quote the specific lyrics sung by the seraphim in Isaiah 6 and Revelation 4.
  • They are transcendent. They shift the focus off of our earthly problems and onto God’s eternal glory.
  • They are unifying. They unite the church militant (on earth) with the church triumphant (in heaven).

8 Songs To Sing With Heaven

  1. Holy Forever – “And the angels cry, Holy.” Chris Tomlin’s anthem is a direct invitation to join the song of eternity. It explicitly mentions the “angels,” “creation,” and “people of God” all singing the same word. It is a powerful reminder that our worship is a small part of a massive roar.
  2. Revelation Song – “With all creation I sing, praise to the King of Kings.” This song defined a generation of worship because it captures the scene of heaven so perfectly. It allows the congregation to stand in the shoes of John the Beloved and stare at the rainbow-circled throne.
  3. Agnus Dei – “Alleluia, for the Lord God Almighty reigns.” “Agnus Dei” is the Latin name for the “Lamb of God.” This song is almost entirely scripture. It feels ancient and weighty, perfect for moments of high reverence.
  4. Worthy Of It All – “Day and night, night and day, let incense arise.” In heaven, the worship never stops. This song connects our Sunday service to the unceasing prayer meeting in heaven, declaring that Jesus is worth an eternal song.
  5. A Thousand Hallelujahs – “Just to sing with the saints.” Brooke Ligertwood’s song celebrates the volume of heaven. It imagines the sound of “a thousand hallelujahs” rising up, and invites the church to add their voice to the mix.
  6. Hymn Of Heaven – “And there we will join the resurrection song.” While this song focuses on the future hope of heaven, it anchors that hope in the worship we will offer. It anticipates the day when we will physically stand with the angels and shout, “Holy.”
  7. All Hail King Jesus – “All hail the Lord of Heaven and Earth.” This song feels like a coronation. It commands the attention of the universe (“let every knee come bow”), placing Jesus rightfully at the center of the cosmos.
  8. Open The Eyes Of My Heart – “To see You high and lifted up.” Based on Isaiah 6, where the angels cry “Holy,” this simple prayer asks for the spiritual vision to see what they see. It is a request to peek behind the curtain of reality.

  2. Revelation Song – The atmosphere.
  3. All Hail King Jesus – The coronation.

How To Use These Songs In Your Church

  • Teach the word “Holy.” Before singing Holy Forever, explain that “Holy” means “set apart” or “other.” It is the only attribute of God that is repeated three times in scripture (Holy, Holy, Holy). It is the supreme song of heaven.
  • Visualize the room. When leading Revelation Song, ask people to close their eyes and imagine the roof of the church peeling back to reveal the throne room. It changes the song from a melody to a meditation.
  • Use silence. These songs are heavy. After Agnus Dei, don’t rush. Let the “incense arise” in a moment of silence or instrumental worship.

Next Steps

Heaven is not just a future destination; it is a present reality. This Sunday, use Holy Forever to transport your church from the sanctuary to the throne room.
