All Ye That Fear Jehovah's Name

“All Ye That Fear Jehovah’s Name” is a hymn of reverent praise that calls the people of God to worship Him with gratitude and awe. The text, attributed to an anonymous writer, draws heavily from the language of the Psalms, particularly Psalm 22:23, which exhorts those who fear the Lord to praise Him. It reflects the biblical theme that the fear of the Lord is not terror for the redeemed, but reverent devotion grounded in covenant love.

The hymn summons all who belong to God’s covenant community to magnify His name. It highlights the mercy and compassion of the Lord, emphasizing that His fatherly kindness extends to those who trust Him. This echoes Psalm 103, where the Lord’s tender compassion toward those who fear Him is compared to that of a father toward his children. The text therefore balances reverence with assurance, portraying God as both holy and gracious.

The tune is also widely associated with other hymns of praise, and its steady rhythm supports congregational singing. The pairing reinforces the text’s call to united worship.

Theologically, the hymn centers on God’s steadfast love and enduring faithfulness. It invites believers to respond to divine mercy with heartfelt praise and to remember that true worship flows from a heart that honors the Lord.

“All Ye That Fear Jehovah’s Name” remains fitting for congregational worship, especially in services focused on thanksgiving and praise. Its scriptural grounding and balanced tone of reverence and joy make it a timeless expression of devotion for the gathered church.
