“And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.”
They held harps given them by God, and sang the song of God's servant Moses and of the Lamb: 'Great and marvelous are your deeds, Lord God Almighty; just and true are your ways, King of the ages' - the victors sing the song of Moses (celebrating Exodus deliverance) and the song of the Lamb (celebrating redemption through Christ). The dual song unites Old Covenant and New Covenant salvation.
Church Fathers on Revelation 15:3
“Standing upon the sea of glass, having harps.” That is, that they stood steadfastly in the faith upon their baptism, and having their confession in their mouth, that they shall exult in the kingdom before God. But let us return to what is set before us.
