I Know Whom I Have Believed

I know not why God's wondrous graceTo me he hath made known,Nor why unworthy Christ in loveRedeemed me for his own.

Refrain, after each verseBut 'I know whom I have believed,And am persuaded that he is ableTo keep that which I've committedUnto him against that day.

I know not how this saving faithTo me he did impart,Nor how believing in his wordWrought peace within my heart.

I know not how the Spirit moves,Convincing men of sin,Revealing Jesus through the Word,Creating faith in him.

I know not what of good or illMay be reserved for me,Of weary ways or golden days,Before his face I see.

I know not when my Lord may come,At night or noonday fair,Nor if I'll walk the vale with him,Or 'meet him in the air.'
