"All praise to our redeeming Lord" is a hymn on Christian fellowship written by Charles Wesley. Composed in three eight-line stanzas, it was published in Hymns for those that seek and those that have Redemption in the Blood of Jesus Christ (1747, No. 32) under the heading "At Meeting of Friends."

The hymn was added to the Wesleyan Hymn Book during a partial revision in 1800-1801, following the death of John Wesley. It subsequently became a widely recognized hymn of fellowship among Methodist communities throughout English-speaking countries, while seeing limited adoption outside of Methodist denominations.
