What is
THE FIRST HYMN?
It’s more than a film. More than a song.
It’s a global movement that’s stirring hearts, uniting generations, and reminding us that worship endures.
At the centre is a scrap of ancient papyrus - holding the earliest known Christian hymn. THE FIRST HYMN invites you into its remarkable journey, from a forgotten desert fragment to a full cinematic experience.

Along the way, world-renowned worship leaders Chris Tomlin and Ben Fielding breathe new life into the melody … culminating in a live performance that brings history and hope together.
And the worship song? It’s already resonating with over 4 million people worldwide.
In a world hungry for hope, this is the story we need.
Whether you watch alone or with your community, THE FIRST HYMN is more than a film - it’s a movement of faith, resilience, and rediscovery.
This is a revival moment … a reminder that worship endures, hope still resonates, and stories can sing across centuries. You’re invited to be part of a global wave of voices rediscovering the power of sacred song.

what audiences are saying
When the first performance came on, my skin all tingled.
Fascinating, informative, delightful and moving.
Moved. Connected.
I have never seen anything like this. Quite profound.
Uplifting, edifying, very singable
A legacy of 1800 years worshiping the same God now in a new context.
An amazing story of three hymn and history of Christianity, wonderfully woven together.
Moves the soul and stirs the spirit, reminding you of the incredible story we are a part of, the role music has played in our faith for centuries, and the value of beauty and artistry to glorify God and edify the church.
You'll come away singing the song for the rest of the night as it really stirs your heart.
Enlivens the past which connects us to be present. Both the traditional score and modern version are delightful
Inspirational on so many levels. History-making, History-changing. Unifying - all that follow Jesus, we are one. How great is our God!
It made me feel connected with fellow believers who lived in another time and place.
I feel the Holy Spirit stirring in my heart when I listen to it.
Connecting with the past to move forward with our God...the giver of all good gifts.
It gave me goosebumps, a Greek Christian hymn written over 1700 years ago completed and brought back to life.
Faith-affirming, grounding, and uplifting.
Made me smile! In my imagination, I was in a small room with early Christians praising God, harmonising together, joyful, courageous.
