My sins are all forgiven, I’m on the heavenward way,
My heart for joy is singing, I’m happy all the day;
Though once in condemnation, His saving power I know,
For Jesus paid my ransom, long, long ago.

Refrain:
Long, long ago, because He loved me so,
His life He gave my soul to save, well, well I know;
Long, long ago, because He loved me so,
For Jesus paid my ransom, long, long ago.

My guilty stains are hidden beneath the crimson flood,
He washed me pure and spotless with His own precious blood;
His heart for me was broken, my pardon to bestow,
For Jesus paid my ransom, long, long ago. [Refrain]

When at the final judgment, my waiting soul shall stand,
For deeds done in the body, to meet the law’s demand;
Upon the page of records there’ll be no debt I owe,
For Jesus paid my ransom, long, long ago. [Refrain]
