Text: | The Old Account was Settled |
Author: | Mrs. C. D. Martin |
Tune: | [O how dark the way before me] |
Composer: | W. Stillman Martin |
1 O how dark the way before me,
And how heavy was my load,
How I dreaded coming judgment,
How I feared the wrath of God;
Since I heard the old, old story,
I am happy, for I know
That the old account was settled long ago.
Refrain:
O the old account was settled long ago ,
When he died, when he died;
And the blood that brought redemption came, I know,
From his side, from his side.
2 Long my weary heart was trying
To make peace with God in heav’n,
Knowing not that peace and pardon
Would to me be freely giv’n;
Then I heard how Jesus suffered,
How his blood could make like snow,
How the old account was settled long ago. [Refrain]
3 I’m rejoicing in salvation,
Jesus’ blood my only plea,
All the past has been forgiven,
From all sin, praise God, I’m free!
This sweet story of redemption
I would tell to all below,
How the old account was settled long ago. [Refrain]
