Long ago (down on my knees)
Long ago (I setted it all)
Yes, the old account was settled long ago; (Hallelujah!)
And the record´s clear today,

For He washed my sins away,
When the old account was settled long ago.
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 (down on my knees)
Long ago (I setted it all)
Yes, the old account was settled long ago; (Hallelujah!)
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 (down on my knees)
Long ago (I setted it all)
Yes, the old account was settled long ago; (Hallelujah!)
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 (down on my knees)
Long ago (I setted it all)
Yes, the old account was settled long ago; (Hallelujah!)
And the record´s clear today,
For He washed my sins away,
When the old account was settled long ago.
