^CThere was a time on earth, when in the book of Heav'n ^FAn old account was sta^Cnding for s^G7ins yet unforgiv'n; ^CMy name was at the top, and many things below, ^FI went unto the Ke^Ceper, and se^G7ttled long a^Cgo.

^G7Long ago (down on my knees), lo^Cng ago (I settled it all), ^CYes, the old account was se^D7ttled long ^G7ago (Hallelujah!); ^CAnd the record's clear today, for He w^Fashed my sins a^Cway, ^CWhen the old account was se^G7ttled long a^Cgo.

^CThe old account was large, and growing every day, ^FFor I was always sinni^Cng, and nev^G7er tried to pay; ^CBut when I looked ahead, and saw such pain and woe, ^FI said that I woul^Cd settle, I ^G7settled long^C ago.

^G7Long ago (down on my knees), lo^Cng ago (I settled it all), ^CYes, the old account was se^D7ttled long ^G7ago (Hallelujah!); ^CAnd the record's clear today, for He w^Fashed my sins a^Cway, ^CWhen the old account was se^G7ttled long a^Cgo.

^CWhen in that happy home, my Savior's home above, ^FI'll sing redemption's^C story, and^G7 praise Him for His love; ^CI'll not forget that book, with pages white as snow, ^FBecause I came and^C settled, an^G7d settled lo^Cng ago.

^G7Long ago (down on my knees), lo^Cng ago (I settled it all), ^CYes, the old account was se^D7ttled long ^G7ago (Hallelujah!); ^CAnd the record's clear today, for He w^Fashed my sins a^Cway, ^CWhen the old account was se^G7ttled long a^Cgo.

^CO sinner, trust the Lord, be cleansed of all your sin, ^FFor thus He hath provi^Cded for you^G7 to enter in; ^CAnd then if you should live a hundred years below, ^FUp there you'll no^Ct regret it,^G7 you settled^C long ago.
