"Lord of All Being, Throned Afar" is a hymn with text written by American author Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr.

It was described by John Julian as "a hymn of great merit",[1] and focuses on the theme of the omnipresence of God. The hymn is in long meter (i.e. stanzas of four eight-syllable lines). It is most frequently set, in American hymnals, to the tunes Louvan, Mendon, and Arizona, and in Commonwealth hymnals often to Ombersley.
