Are You Washed In the Blood?

"Are You Washed In the Blood?" is one of those classic hymns that instantly lifts the energy in the church. Written by E. A. Hoffman, it asks a direct, searching question about our spiritual readiness and reliance on Christ's sacrifice. The verses prompt us to look inward—asking if we are walking daily by the Saviour's side and if our garments are spotless—while the chorus bursts into a joyful, confident affirmation of faith.

In our parishes, this hymn is a favorite during Communion or as a lively recessional, especially when the choir and congregation lean into the call-and-response feel of the chorus. The solfa arrangement here captures that driving rhythm perfectly. It is a song that doesn't just ask us to listen; it invites everyone in the pews to sing out with conviction about the soul-cleansing grace of the Lamb.
