    The Bible as Music, curated by John McGlothlen, is a website dedicated to provide an ever-growing scripture index of music, with an emphasis on classical choral music that quotes or strictly paraphrases passages from the Bible.
    You may listen to the selection of choral music directly on the website, which divides the music by book of the Bible. You may also listen to The Bible as Music as a streaming audio at the Live365 Internet radio network.

    This is why I love Handel's Messiah so much - it is basically the bible in song.

    If you enjoy that, look especially to the traditional Funeral Sentences and Easter Sunday anthems of the Book of Common Prayer. Here is one such:

    Very nice. I wouldn't have thought of the funeral sentences as being something to listen to outside of a funeral but I enjoyed this clip this am.
