"All praise to Him who dwells in bliss" is an evening hymn written by Charles Wesley in five four-line stanzas. It was first published in John Wesley's Collection of Psalms and Hymns (1741) under the title "An Evening Hymn."

The original text was reprinted without alteration in volume two of The Poetical Works of John and Charles Wesley (1868-1872). Although widely adopted across various British and American hymnals, the text was never included in the official Wesleyan Hymn Book. In The Hymnary (1872), a doxology was appended to the original stanzas.
