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.
Refrain:
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.
