Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing
power? ELISHA ALBRIGHT HOFFMAN (1839-1929) was born in Orwigsburg, PA, the son of devout Germans and was reared in a family that sang as part of their daily devotions. He attended Central High School, Philadelphia, then Union Seminary (of the Evangelical Association) and became a minister of the Evangelical Church. He pastored in Benton Harbor (Michigan) Presbyterian Church, served as editor of many music publications, and was a gifted amateur writer of both words and music of gospel songs. He is remembered as the composer of "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms". He served briefly as an editor for Hope Publishing Company, and left a large file of unpublished compositions in care of the company. His most popular hymn "Leaning On The Everlasting Arms" appears as #496 in Hope's new hymnal WORSHIP & REJOICE (2001). Revelation 7:14 - They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
