In the ancient ruins of Oxyrhynchus, Egypt, archaeologists unearthed a papyrus scrap containing the earliest known Christian hymn, complete with both its lyrics and musical notation.

Hosted by John Dickson, The First Hymn is a feature-length documentary that traces the remarkable journey of an ancient song from its desert origins to its rediscovery today.

As the story unfolds, acclaimed composers Chris Tomlin and Ben Fielding reimagine the ancient melody for modern worship, culminating in an exciting live concert performance.

A great historical find.
A very interesting and factual documentary with a distinctive Australian connection.
The song developed by Ben Fielding and Chris Tomlin is exceptional.
