Hymn Of Heaven
by Phil Wickham
Theology & Meaning
This song looks forward to the day when believers of every nation will worship around the throne of God. It ties present worship to future hope and honors those who have gone before us. The tone is both longing and confident in the promises of God.
Worship Leadership Tips
Use this in services of remembrance, funerals of believers, or any time you want to lift eyes toward eternity. It can help a grieving church remember that death is not the end. Encourage people to picture faces of saints who are now with Jesus while they sing.
Arrangement Tips
Keep the verses tender and allow the chorus to open up without becoming rushed. Gentle swells from pads and electric guitar can create a sense of space. A quieter final refrain can leave the room in a posture of hopeful peace.
