#1285, #1319

 
 1 

I know not why God's wondrous grace

To me He hath made known,

Nor why, unworthy, Christ in love

Redeemed me for His own.

 

But "I know Whom I have believed

And am persuaded that He is able

To keep that which I've committed

Unto Him against that day."

 
 2 

I know not how this saving faith

To me He did impart,

Nor how believing in His word

Wrought peace within my heart.

 

But "I know Whom I have believed

And am persuaded that He is able

To keep that which I've committed

Unto Him against that day."

 
 3 

I know not how the Spirit moves,

Convincing men of sin,

Revealing Jesus through the Word,

Creating faith in Him.

 

But "I know Whom I have believed

And am persuaded that He is able

To keep that which I've committed

Unto Him against that day."

 
 4 

I know not what of good or ill

May be reserved for me,

Of weary ways or golden days,

Before His face I see.

 

But "I know Whom I have believed

And am persuaded that He is able

To keep that which I've committed

Unto Him against that day."

 
 5 

I know not when my Lord may come,

At night or noon-day fair,

Nor if I'll walk the vale with Him,

Or "meet Him in the air."

 

But "I know Whom I have believed

And am persuaded that He is able

To keep that which I've committed

Unto Him against that day."
