"All glory and praise to Jesus our Lord" is a hymn written by Charles Wesley on the theme of the gift of the Holy Spirit. Composed in four four-line stanzas, the text was preserved among the Wesley manuscripts in the library of the Theological Institution at Richmond.

The hymn made an early appearance in the American Methodist Episcopal Hymn Book in 1849 (No. 201). It was subsequently published in Great Britain within volume thirteen of The Poetical Works of John and Charles Wesley (1868-1872). Beyond these Methodist collections, the hymn saw little broader adoption.
