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. (Chorus:) 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. 3. I know not how the Spirit moves, Convincing men of sin, Revealing Jesus through the Word, Creating faith in Him. (Chorus:) 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. 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." (Chorus:) 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."
