Are You Washed in the Blood: A Deep Meditation on Redemption (Revelation 7:14) | Christian Instrumental
Experience the joyful and restorative spirit of “Are You Washed in the Blood?” in this peaceful instrumental arrangement. This rendition is designed to provide a worshipful atmosphere for prayer and self-examination, centering on the redemptive grace found in the Lamb of God.
The Scriptural Foundation
This hymn is a melodic reflection on the vision of the redeemed found in Revelation 7:14:
“These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.”
It serves as a powerful call to spiritual readiness, asking the soul if its garments are truly “spotless” and “white as snow” through the cleansing power of Christ.
The Story Behind the Hymn
Written in 1878 by Elisha A. Hoffman, this hymn stands as one of the most iconic “invitation” songs in the history of the American Gospel movement. Hoffman, a Presbyterian minister from Pennsylvania, was a prolific composer who wrote over 2,000 hymns. “Are You Washed in the Blood?” was specifically crafted to provoke a moment of deep self-reflection. It contrasts the “stains of sin” with the “fountain flowing for the soul unclean,” encouraging the believer to rest every 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?

When the Bridegroom cometh will your robes be white?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

And be 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!
