#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 believèd

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 believèd

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 believèd

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 believèd

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 believèd

And am persuaded that He is able

To keep that which I've committed

Unto Him against that day."
