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 into the keeper, and settled it 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.

Oh sinner seek the Lord, and He'll forgive your sins,
For thus He has 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 it 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.

Long ago, Long ago, Yes, the old account was settled long ago
And the record's clear today for He washed my sins away!
And the old account was settled, (Long ago!) Long A-g-o!
