"All hail, dear Conqueror, all hail" is an Easter hymn written by the English theologian and poet Frederick William Faber. Composed in ten four-line stanzas, the text was first published under the title "Jesus Risen" in his 1849 volume Jesus and Mary, or Catholic Hymns. Faber included the complete text in later editions of that work as well as in his expanded 1862 collection, Hymns.
In modern worship collections, the hymn is typically presented in an abbreviated or slightly altered form. Adapted versions appeared in several nineteenth-century compilations, including the Appendix to the Hymnal Noted, Hymns and Carols, and the Scottish Presbyterian Ibrox Hymnal. Unabridged versions retaining the original ten stanzas were preserved in select Catholic collections, such as Holy Family Hymns.
