The Old Account Was Settled Long Ago Hymn

Lyrics: There was a time on earth,
When in the book of Heav'n
An old account was standing
For sins yet unforgiv'n;
My name was at the top
And many things below,
I went unto the Keeper,
And settled long ago.

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.

The old account was large,
And growing ev'ry 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,
I settled long ago.

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.

When in that happy Home,
My Saviour's Home above,
I'll sing redemption's story,
And praise Him for His love;
I'll not forget that book,
With pages white as snow,
Because I came and settled,
And settled long ago.

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.

O sinner, trust the Lord,
Be cleansed of all your sin;
For thus He hath provided
For you to enter in;
And then if you should live
A hundred years below,
Up there you’ll not regret it,
You settled long ago.

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.
