Hoffman (1839-1929), words and music, transcribed syllable by syllable from the FIRST PRINTING: Spiritual Songs for Gospel Meetings and the Sunday School, ed. Rev. Elisha A. Hoffman and J. H. Tenney (Cleveland: Samuel Barker, 1878), printed page 15 \u2014 archive.org item spifo00hoff, leaf 0019 \u2014 headed \"Are You Washed In The Blood?\" with \"E. A. H.\" engraved at BOTH the left (words) and the right (music), printing all FOUR stanzas interlinear with a written-out chorus and a second lyric row for the tenor/bass answer, and carrying no separate copyright line on the leaf. Collated word for word against a SECOND SCAN of the same plate, archive.org spiritualsongsfo00hoff_0, leaf 0019; both items are catalogued 1878. US public domain: published 1878, and both witnesses read here are that printing itself; Hoffman died in 1929, so it is also PD in life+70 jurisdictions. PUNCTUATION follows the plate, read on both scans: verse 1's \"cleansing pow'r?\" is elided to one syllable (\"pow'r\"), which is why line 1 is eleven syllables; verses 1-3 end their second and fourth lines with a question mark, verse 4 with a semicolon at line 2 (\"...of the Lamb;\") and an exclamation at line 4 (\"...of the Lamb!\"); verse 3 sets \"Pure and white in the blood\" where the other verses sing \"washed in the blood\", and both scans print lowercase \"his\" in \"in his grace this hour\". The chorus second row (\"Are you washed\" / \"in the blood\" / \"of the Lamb?\") belongs to the lower voices and lives in the harmonization's bass_echo, per the corpus refrain model.", "pd_jurisdictions": {"US": true}}, "stanzas": {"1": {"syllabified": "Have you been to Je -- sus for the cleans -- ing pow'r?
