"All for Jesus, All for Jesus", also titled as "All for Jesus! All for Jesus!"W J Sparrow Simpson intended as the closing chorus of John Stainer's The Crucifixion oratorio. It started to be published as a separate hymn later in 1901.[2]
History
In 1887, Sparrow Simpson was the
The Churchman as being "...a first and a very successful attempt to supply an easy and short form of Passion music suitable for use in ordinary parish churches,"[5] though Stainer had previously described the whole oratorio as "rubbish".[6]
For several years, "All for Jesus, All for Jesus" was played only as part of The Crucifixion performances. In 1969 it was first published as a standalone hymn in the
Thirty-Nine Articles
.
