The Cancelled Bond

Verse 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."

Verse 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."

Verse 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.

Verse 4

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

Verse 5

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