"All thanks to the Lamb, Who gives us to meet" is a hymn on Christian fellowship written by Charles Wesley. Composed in seven four-line stanzas, it was first published in 1749 in volume two of his Hymns and Sacred Poems (No. 238).

The complete text was included in John Wesley's Wesleyan Hymn Book in 1780. In the revised edition of 1875, the seventh stanza was omitted. The original text was reprinted in volume five of The Poetical Works of John and Charles Wesley (1868–1872). While widely used within various Methodist denominations, it is rarely found in non-Methodist hymnals.
