The story of "The First Hymn":

It is not often that an artifact is a song. Found in Egypt and written 1800 years ago, the lyric and musical notations are the oldest surviving Christian hymn ever found - “The First Hymn.” Known by scholars as “P.Oxy 1786”, this artifact was discovered by archaeologists in the ancient Egyptian city of Oxyrhynchus in 1918. Grammy-Award winner Chris Tomlin and Ben Fielding, two of the most respected Christian composers and songwriters, were invited to bring the oldest hymn ever to be found back to life and resurrect the song into a piece of modern worship music thus giving it back to the world almost two millenniums later. Tomlin and Fielding co-wrote “The First Hymn” using the original 35 words and music found on the small piece of papyrus that was unearthed.

From a scrap of parchment in the ruins of an ancient Egyptian city to a contemporary anthem for the 21st century! Watch Chris, Ben and presenter John Dickson resurrect this 3rd century Christian piece of music in the documentary behind the song “The First Hymn”. The First Hymn is an Undeceptions production.

LYRICS:

VERSE
Let all be silent
The shining stars not sound
Rushing rivers still
Let the mountains bow down
In awe and wonder
In reverence we come
Who is worthy of all worship?
Who is seated on the throne?

CHORUS
All powers cry out in answer
All glory and praise forever
To our God
The Father, Son and Holy Spirit
Amen, we sing, amen

BRIDGE
To the only Giver of all good gifts
Amen
To the only One who forgives our sins
Amen
To the only God to the Risen King
To the One who died and rose again
Amen
We sing amen
