      Verse One:

      There was a time on earth...when in the book of Heaven....
      An old account was standing....for sins yet unforgiven....
      My name was at the top...and many things below.......
      I went unto the Keeper....and settled long ago.....

       The Chorus:

      Long ago.....long ago.....
      Yes, the old account was settled long ago.....
      And the record's clear today.......
      For He washed my sins away.......
      When the old account was settled long ago.....

       Verse Two:

      The old account was large....and growing every day.....
      For I was always sinning...and never tried to pay....
      But when I looked ahead....and saw such pain and woe.....
      I said that I would settle and settled long ago....

      Verse Three:

      When at the judgement bar....I stand before my King......
      And, He the book will open....he cannot find a thing......
      Then will my heart be glad...while tears of joy will flow....
      Because I had it settled....and settled long ago...

      Verse Four:

      O sinner....seek the Lord....repent of all your sins....
      For thus He has commanded....if you would enter in....
      And then if you should live....a hundred years below....
      E'en here you'll not regret it...you settled long ago.....

       The Chorus:

      Long ago.....long ago.....
      Yes, the old account was settled long ago.....
      And the record's clear today.......
      For He washed my sins away.......
      When the old account was settled long ago.....

      Tag

      And the record's clear today.......
      For He washed my sins away.......
      When the old account was settled long ago.....
