Famous Christian artists Chris Tomlin and Ben Fielding have revived a third century hymn discovered on ancient Egyptian papyrus, releasing a contemporary version of the song ahead of Easter.

Titled The First Hymn Project, the song debuted globally last Friday, with an accompanying documentary featuring scholarly insights to stream starting on Monday, according to Baptist Press.

The hymn, dating back to roughly 250 AD, was discovered a century ago among ruins in Egypt and preserved at Oxford University. Its resurrection began when John Dickson, the Jean Kvamme distinguished professor of Biblical Studies and Public Christianity at Wheaton College, recognized its historical and theological significance for contemporary Christians.
