I'm Believing and Receiving

Appears in 60 hymnals First Line: Sins of years are washed away Refrain First Line: I’m believing and receiving Lyrics: 1 Sins of years are wash’d away, Blackest stains become as snow; Darkest night is chang’d to day, When I to the fountain go. Refrain: I’m believing and receiving, While I to the river go. And my heart its waves are cleansing, Whiter than the driven snow. 2 Doubts and fears are borne along On the current’s ceaseless flow; Sorrow changes into song, When I to the fountain go. [Refrain] 2 Ease and wealth become as dross, Worthless earth’s delight and show; All my boast is in the cross, When I to the fountain go. [Refrain] 3 Selfishness is lost in love, Love for him whose love you know; All my treasure is above, When I to the fountain go. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Sins of years are washed away]

William J. Kirkpatrick

1838 - 1921 Person Name: W. J. K. Arranger of "[Sins of years are washed away]" in The Old Story in Song William J. Kirkpatrick (b. Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia. Bert Polman

Anonymous

Person Name: Anon. Author of "Believing and Receiving" in Christ in Song In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

Herbert H. Booth

1862 - 1926 Author of "I'm Believing and Receiving" Herbert Henry Howard Booth (26 August 1862 – 25 September 1926) was the third son of William and Catherine Booth. He oversaw the Limelight Department's development and he was the writer and director for Soldiers of the Cross. See also in: Wikipedia
