"All ye who faithful servants are" is a Eucharistic hymn written by Nahum Tate and Nicholas Brady. Based on Revelation 19, it was published in four four-line stanzas in the 1699 Supplement to the New Version as the second of three hymns designated for Holy Communion.

The hymn appeared in a limited number of nineteenth-century collections, including R. H. Kennedy's Hymnologia Christiana (1863, No. 646) and the Sarum Hymnal (1868, No. 225). In both hymnals, the fourth stanza contains minor revisions, changing "bless'd" to "blest" in the first line and altering "Is call'd" to "Is made a welcome guest" in the fourth line.
