Abstract

A Greek Christian liturgical hymn written on the back of a documentary Coptic text. The Lord is praised in the initial quotation from Ps. 149:1 and in references to the Annunciation, the Nativity, and the Resurrection in a quotation from Ps. 103:2. The hymn ends with a doxology. The format of the Greek text suggests that the papyrus was intended to be used by a singer in a liturgical context. [AG/CG]
