I Know Whom I Have Believed

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.

I know not how this saving faith
to me He did impart,
nor how believing in His Word
wrought peace within my heart.

I know not how the Spirit moves,
convincing us of sin,
revealing Jesus through the Word,
creating faith in Him.

I know not what of good or ill
may 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 walk the vale with Him,
or meet Him in the air.
