| 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. |
| CH1 |
| Long ago, long ago, yes the old account was settled long ago. |
| And the records cleared today, for He washed my sins away, |
| When the old account was settled long ago. |
| V2 |
| 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 settled long ago. |
| CH2 |
| Long ago, long ago, yes the old account was settled long ago. |
| And the records cleared today, for He washed my sins away, |
| When the old account was settled long ago. |
| VS3 |
| Oh sinner, seek the Lord, repent of all your sin, |
| For thus He hath commanded, if you would enter in; |
| And then if you should live, a hundred years below, |
| Up there you'll not regret it, you settled long ago. |
| CH3 |
| Long ago, long ago, yes the old account was settled long ago. |
| And the records cleared today, for He washed my sins away, |
| When the old account was settled long ago. |
