[VERSE 1]
[C]There was a time on earth, when in the book of Heav'n
[F]An old account was sta[C]nding for s[G7]ins yet unforgiv'n;
[C]My name was at the top, and many things below,
[F]I went unto the Ke[C]eper, and se[G7]ttled long a[C]go.

[REFRAIN]
[G7]Long ago (down on my knees), lo[C]ng ago (I settled it all),
[C]Yes, the old account was se[D7]ttled long [G7]ago (Hallelujah!);
[C]And the record's clear today, for He w[F]ashed my sins a[C]way,
[C]When the old account was se[G7]ttled long a[C]go.

[VERSE 2]
[C]The old account was large, and growing every day,
[F]For I was always sinni[C]ng, and nev[G7]er tried to pay;
[C]But when I looked ahead, and saw such pain and woe,
[F]I said that I woul[C]d settle, I [G7]settled long[C] ago.

[REFRAIN]
[G7]Long ago (down on my knees), lo[C]ng ago (I settled it all),
[C]Yes, the old account was se[D7]ttled long [G7]ago (Hallelujah!);
[C]And the record's clear today, for He w[F]ashed my sins a[C]way,
[C]When the old account was se[G7]ttled long a[C]go.

[VERSE 3]
[C]When in that happy home, my Savior's home above,
[F]I'll sing redemption's[C] story, and[G7] praise Him for His love;
[C]I'll not forget that book, with pages white as snow,
[F]Because I came and[C] settled, an[G7]d settled lo[C]ng ago.

[REFRAIN]
[G7]Long ago (down on my knees), lo[C]ng ago (I settled it all),
[C]Yes, the old account was se[D7]ttled long [G7]ago (Hallelujah!);
[C]And the record's clear today, for He w[F]ashed my sins a[C]way,
[C]When the old account was se[G7]ttled long a[C]go.

[VERSE 4]
[C]O sinner, trust the Lord, be cleansed of all your sin,
[F]For thus He hath provi[C]ded for you[G7] to enter in;
[C]And then if you should live a hundred years below,
[F]Up there you'll no[C]t regret it,[G7] you settled[C] long ago.
