Hymn of the Three Majestic Powers of the Luminous Teaching (also known as Hymn of the Three Majestic Powers of the Da-Qin Luminous Teaching; ) is a Jingjiao (Church of the East) manuscript discovered in 1908 by the French sinologist Paul Pelliot at the sealed cave of Dunhuang's Mingsha Mountain. Pelliot acquired the manuscript at a low price and transported it to Paris.
The Hymn of the Three Majestic Powers functioned as a liturgical chant recited by Nestorian believers, consisting of scripture and praise hymns. The manuscript represents texts originally brought to China in 635 by the missionary Aluoben and translated in 760 by the Tang monk Jingjing. "Three Majestic Powers" refers to the Holy Trinity: the Holy Father (Aloho), the Holy Son (Mshiha / Messiah), and the Holy Spirit (the Pure Wind King).
The original scroll is preserved in the Bibliothèque nationale de France under catalogue number Pelliot chinois 3847. An English translation is extant.
The hymn is also included as hymn No. 385 in the Hymnal (New Edition) of the China Christian Council.
