Introduction
“Are You Washed in the Blood” is one of those timeless hymns that feels like it’s been stitched into the fabric of faith itself. It’s not just a song; it’s a heartfelt call to reflection, redemption, and renewal. Written by Elisha A. Hoffman in the late 19th century, this hymn has been a cornerstone of Christian worship, echoing through church halls, tent revivals, and even quiet living rooms where someone strums a guitar in prayerful devotion.
What makes this hymn so special is its central question—are you ready, spiritually cleansed, and prepared to meet the divine? It’s powerful, isn’t it? The lyrics are simple yet profound, offering a direct message about salvation and the transformative power of Christ’s sacrifice. With every verse, it feels like the song pulls you closer to introspection, nudging you to examine your heart and faith.
Musically, the hymn is both uplifting and commanding, often performed in a lively, foot-tapping rhythm. It carries that beautiful mix of reverence and joy—serious in its message but jubilant in the assurance of grace. It’s the kind of song that makes you want to clap your hands, lift your voice, and join the chorus, no matter where you are.
This hymn has transcended generations, uniting believers with its enduring truth and soulful melody. It’s not just a reminder of spiritual cleansing; it’s an invitation to fully embrace the grace that’s always available. Whether sung in a booming choir or hummed in solitude, “Are You Washed in the Blood” carries a message of hope that never fades

Lyrics
Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing power?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Are you fully trusting in His grace this hour?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Are you washed in the blood
In the soul cleansing blood of the Lamb?
Are your garments spotless? Are they white as snow?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Are you walking daily by the Savior’s side?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Do you rest each moment in the Crucified?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Are you washed in the blood
In the soul cleansing blood of the Lamb?
Are your garments spotless? Are they white as snow?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Lay aside the garments that are stained with sin
And be washed in the blood of the Lamb
There’s a fountain flowing for the soul unclean
O be washed in the blood of the Lamb!
Are you washed in the blood
In the soul cleansing blood of the Lamb?
Are your garments spotless? Are they white as snow?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Are your garments spotless? Are they white as snow?
O be washed in the blood of the Lamb!
