I'd call it "White Gospel" or "Southern Gospel" - it has a swing to it, and "hymns" don't. I suppose I'm wrong, too - what I refer to as "hymns" are probably actually "anthems."

I suppose I do pass a number of hymns by when I'm harvesting - but Susan of DT or Jim Dixon might think differently and harvest it. There are some people who post one hymn after another with no background information and no tune, and no indication why the song is significant. I'm a church musician and I've got fifty hymnals in my house, but I don't post every hymn in every hymnal. It would be very unlikely that I would post any of the Catholic hymns I sing in church. Even though I like them, it's unlikely I'd sing them at a folk gathering. "Are You Washed in the Blood" is an old-time gospel standard, and it should be included in the Digital Tradition.
I know a lot of people post lyrics and don't have the ability to post tunes. If you include source information in your post, it makes it easier for us to find and transcribe the tune. Check the FAQ/Newcomer's Guide for guides to posting lyrics and tunes.
