"All hail, triumphant Lord" is an anonymous Ascension hymn composed in three six-line stanzas. It first appeared in the Salisbury Hymn Book (1857, No. 100) and was subsequently included in The New Congregational Hymn Book (1859), Alfred Barry's Psalms and Hymns (1868), and The New Zealand Hymnal (1872). Published without an author signature across collections, the text is clearly modeled upon Charles Wesley's Ascension hymn, "God is gone up on high."
