"All praise to the Lamb! Accepted I am" is an eighteen-stanza hymn by Charles Wesley on the theme of Christian assurance. It was first published in 1759 in volume one of his Hymns and Sacred Poems (No. 130) and later reprinted in volume five of The Poetical Works of John and Charles Wesley (1868–1872).
Although rarely used as a complete poem in congregational worship, select stanzas were incorporated into nineteenth-century collections, such as the Hymn Book of the Evangelical Association (Cleveland, Ohio, 1882). Stanza five contains the well-known lines, "Not a cloud doth arise / To darken the skies, / Or hide for a moment my Lord from my eyes," which originally began with "Not a doubt" in Wesley's initial text.
