Done Been Sanctified -Old Plantation Hymns by William E. Barton in 1898:
A good many of the hymns of the *African-American people deal with ecstatic experiences; but most of them are sufficiently modest in their claims of regenerate character and of fruits meet for repentance. Now and then, however, there is a song whose singer professes to have received sanctification. It has been my privilege to know a number of people, white and black, who were thought by others to be sanctified in the sense in which that term is commonly (and incorrectly) used; but these people always denied it. On the other hand, I have known a number of people who thought themselves to be sanctified, and in no case could any one else be made to believe it. However, here is the hymn, which is rather a rare one of its sort.
It may be noted that while conversion implies a long struggle to "get through," sanctification, as here interpreted, is not related to antecedent experience. It occurs simply while "walking along."
DONE BEEN SANCTIFIED
1. One day I'se walkin' along,
The Lord done sanctified me.
One day I'se walkin' along,
He sanctified my soul.
Mourner, behold de Lamb of God,
The Lord done sanctified me.
He sanctified me, he'll sanctify you,
He sanctified my soul.
2. I went to the valley to pray,
The Lord done sanctified me;
I climbed to the mountain top,
He sanctified my soul.
Sinner, behold de Lamb, etc.
3. Before I learned to pray,
The Lord done sanctified me;
I'd trouble all the day,
He sanctified my soul.
Brother, behold the Lamb of God, etc.
4. I'se lost and now I'm found,
The Lord done sanctified me;
My soul is heaven bound,
He sanctified my soul.
Preachers, behold the Lamb of God, etc.
