Two scholars unearthed a fragment of ancient music, lost for centuries, revealing a Christian hymn with a tune typical of its time, but with ideas that challenge conventional beliefs.
From a fragment of ancient papyrus in a dusty Egyptian ruin to the soaring melodies of a modern concert stage, this is the story of music that survived centuries. The earliest known Christian hymn, lost for nearly two millennia, is reborn through the voices of today’s worship leaders, carrying faith, history, and artistry into the present.
As scholars pieced together its fragile notes and lyrics at Oxford, the hymn’s journey revealed not just an artifact, but a living story of belief, creativity, and devotion. And now, through a transformative concert, the echoes of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit resound once more—reminding us that some truths endure beyond time itself.
