Welcome to the second episode of our summer series on the history behind the hymns. Today, we explore a hymn written around 1100. While most hymns have uplifting stories, this one, born from the Crusades, is a heart-wrenching tale that resonates deeply. It's a hymn that emerged from a time of great conflict, making its story one of the most emotionally impactful and difficult to hear.
