“All Glory, Laud and Honour” is a hymn written by Theodulf of Orléans around 820 AD, originally in Latin as “Gloria, laus et honor.” Composed during his imprisonment in Angers, France, it was meant for Palm Sunday, celebrating Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem.
The hymn became part of liturgical traditions, sung during processions. Translated into English by John Mason Neale in 1854, it gained widespread use in Anglican and other churches. Its enduring melody, often paired with the text, is attributed to Melchior Teschner (1615). The hymn remains a staple in Christian worship, especially during Holy Week.
