263. The Canceled Bond

1 He gave me back the bond;
It was a heavy debt;
And as he gave he smiled and said,
"Thou wilt not me forget."

2 He gave me back the bond;
The seal was torn away;
And as he gave he smiled and said,
"Think thou of me alway."

3 That bond I still will keep,
Although it canceled be,
It tells me of the love of him
Who paid the debt for me.

4 I look on it and smile;
I look again and weep;
That record of his love for me
I will for ever keep.

5 It is a bond no more;
But it shall ever tell
All that I owed was fully paid
By my Immanuel.
