The term “ancient hymn” in Western liturgical contexts typically evokes Gregorian chant or Reformation chorales. However, within the Nigerian Pentecostal and Catholic charismatic traditions, “ancient” often refers to the hymnody of the 19th-century missionary era—tunes such as “What a Friend We Have in Jesus” or “Holy, Holy, Holy,” translated into Igbo, Yoruba, or Hausa. Adaobi Ikeh’s “Ancient Hymn (Track A)” productively destabilizes this category.
