The Song Jesus Sang
"When they had sang a hymn, They went out into the Mount of Olives." Mat. 26:30
Jesus is represented in the Word as many things:
1: He is the Great Physician {Matt. 9:12}
2: He is the Master Teacher {Matt. 5:2}
3: He is the Perfect Preacher {Luke 4:18}
4: He is the Qualified Counselor {Is. 9:6}
He is never thought of as a singer! I don't know whether He sang tenor, baritone or bass but it was no doubt the sweetest music this side of Heaven.
Copying with the calamity of the crucifixion
He sang! He sang in the face of:
betrayal by Judas {Mark 14:43-46},
denial by Peter {Matt. 26:69}
and forsaking by the Disciples {Matt. 26:56}.
His was a
song of sacrifice,
song of consecration,
song of mercy and a
song of redemption!
He sang a song of victory in the face of defeat.
He sang a song of life in the face of death.
Yes Jesus was a singer.
Can we do less?
Let us sing a new song
with radiant joy of the Lord
and win the world to Christ!

Is there any tradition on what song he may have sung?
I would have thought that since it was Passover He might have been singing one of the traditional songs of that Feast Day.
========================
one of my favorites, but I can never remember the words right.
Take me past the crowds of people into Your Gates of Praise
Past the Brazen alter, Lord I want to see Your Face!
Take me past the outer courts and the Priests who sing Your Praise
Lord I hunger and thirst for Your Righteousness and it's only found one place.
Take me in to the Holy of Holies, Take me in by the Blood of the Lamb. Take me in to the Holy of Holies, Take the coal, clease my lips, here I am.
