[ Предположительная тональность: C ] [Verse 1] C There was a time on earth, when in the book of Heav'n F C G7 An old account was standing for sins yet unforgiv'n; C My name was at the top, and many things below, F C G7 C I went unto the Keeper, and settled long ago. [Refrain] G7 C Long ago (down on my knees), long ago (I settled it all), C D7 G7 Yes, the old account was settled long ago (Hallelujah!); C F C And the record's clear today, for He washed my sins away, C G7 C When the old account was settled long ago. [Verse 2] C The old account was large, and growing every day, F C G7 For I was always sinning, and never tried to pay; C But when I looked ahead, and saw such pain and woe, F C G7 C I said that I would settle, I settled long ago. [Refrain] G7 C Long ago (down on my knees), long ago (I settled it all), C D7 G7 Yes, the old account was settled long ago (Hallelujah!); C F C And the record's clear today, for He washed my sins away, C G7 C When the old account was settled long ago. [Verse 3] C When in that happy home, my Savior's home above, F C G7 I'll sing redemption's story, and praise Him for His love; C I'll not forget that book, with pages white as snow, F C G7 C Because I came and settled, and settled long ago. [Refrain] G7 C Long ago (down on my knees), long ago (I settled it all), C D7 G7 Yes, the old account was settled long ago (Hallelujah!); C F C And the record's clear today, for He washed my sins away, C G7 C When the old account was settled long ago. [Verse 4] C O sinner, trust the Lord, be cleansed of all your sin, F C G7 For thus He hath provided for you to enter in; C And then if you should live a hundred years below, F C G7 C Up there you'll not regret it, you settled long ago.
