Christendom's oldest hymn translated by Dexter in 1848
A summary of St Clement of Alexandria's hymn, written around 200 A.D. and translated into English by Dr. Henry M. Dexter in 1848 while he was a Manchester pastor. The hymn first appeared in the Congregationalist a year later, with Lowell Mason providing the current tune in 1832. Dexter, Yale and Andover educated, left preaching in 1867 to edit a magazine and died in 1890.
