| 1. I know not why
God's wondrous grace
To me He hath made known,
Nor why - unworthy as I am
He claimed me for His own.
Refrain.
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,
Or how believing in His Word
Wrought peace within my heart.
Refrain.
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.
Refrain.
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.
Refrain.
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 noonday fair,
Nor if I'll walk the vale with him,
Or meet Him in the air.
Refrain.
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."
