Have you ever wondered how music can draw you closer to God? Tune in to Heavenly Harmonies to find out! You will discover a new appreciation for hymns, as you dig deep into their scriptural message. Whether you are a musician, or simply enjoy listening to beautiful songs, this programme has something for you. Let's explore together!
This hymn Bible study unpacks "Jesus Is Coming Again," a hymn built entirely around the signs of Christ's return. In this scripture behind the hymn episode, we trace its verses back to Joel, Psalm 96, and the words of Jesus Himself in Luke 21.
The hymn's imagery of earthquakes, darkened skies, and a blood-red moon isn't poetic flourish — it points to specific historical events: the 1755 Lisbon earthquake and the 1780 Dark Day. We also look at why the hymn pictures all of creation, from hilltops to oceans, joining in the announcement of Christ's coming, and close the season on "Historical Foundations of Present Truth" with a newly written verse capturing the Dark Day for those studying this hymn today.
In this episode, you will hear:
The Bible texts behind "lift up the trumpet" and "echo it, hilltops"
How two specific 18th-century events fulfill signs Jesus and Daniel foretold
Why nature is pictured rejoicing at Christ's return
A new verse written to complete the hymn's prophetic picture

A Teen's Hymn: Scripture Behind the Hymn
This scripture behind the hymn episode explores "My Jesus, I Love Thee," written by William Featherston while still a teenager. It's a hymn devotional built entirely around one question: where does our love for Christ actually come from?
We trace the hymn's message to 1 John 4:19 and John 3:16, then widen out to the larger story of the Reformation's rediscovery that true religion is a heart response to God's love, not a round of ceremonies. That leads naturally into freedom of conscience — how Martin Luther and later Roger Williams came to see personal conviction as the true basis of worship, a principle now woven into the fabric of religious liberty.
In this episode, you will hear:
The story of William Featherston and why this hymn feels so personal
The scripture behind "I love Thee because Thou hast first loved me"
Why true religion is a heart matter, not outward ritual
How this hymn connects to freedom of conscience through Luther and Roger Williams
