THE OLD ACCOUNT
The Old Account Was Settled Long Ago
Author: F. M. Graham Hymnal: His Fullness Songs #276 (1977) First Line: There was a time I know Refrain First Line: Long ago, Long ago Lyrics: 1 There was a time, I know,
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,
But I went to 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.
2 The old account was large,
And larger 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,
And settled long ago. [Refrain]
3 When at the judgment bar,
I stand before my King,
And He the book will open,
And cannot find a thing;
Then will my heart be glad,
While tears of joy will flow,
Because I had it settled,
And settled long ago. [Refrain]
4 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. [Refrain]
5 O sinner seek the Lord,
Repent of all your sin,
For thus He has commanded,
If you would enter in;
And then if you should live,
A hundred years below,
Up there you’ll not regret it
And settled long ago. [Refrain] Topics: Testimony Languages: English Tune Title: [There was a time I know]

Winsett's final publication, Best of All (1951), sold over 1 million copies, and in total his books sold over ten million copies. His song "Jesus Is Coming Soon" won a Dove Award for Gospel Song of the Year at the 1969 awards. He has been inducted into the Southern Gospel Museum and Hall of Fame.

W. G. Cooper
1861 - 1938 Alterer of "The Old Account Was Settled Long Ago" in The Harp of Glory Rv William Gustin Cooper USA 1861-1938. Born in Evansville, WI, he married Mabel Luella Cooper. He became a Baptist minister having pastorates in Hortonville Village, WI, 1897 – 1901, and later in Ira, VT, in 1922. He also conducted camp meetings. He wrote a number of hymn lyrics and a few tunes. He died in Canton, ME.
Note: In a campmeeting service in 1889, when the service was over, a lyricist, Warren Cornell, sat writing a poem. As he left the site, he dropped the paper he was writing and didn't notice it. An hour or or so later, Rev. Cooper came in to tidy up the tent area for the next service, saw the paper, picked it up and read it, and was so inspired by the words, that he finished writing the text and went to the organ and composed the tune for the hymn, “Wonderful peace”.
