I Know Whom I Have Believed

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.  

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;  
Nor how believing in His Word  
Wro't peace within my heart. [Refrain]  

3 I know not how the Spirit moves,  
Convincing men of sin;  
Revealing Jesus thro' the Word,  
Creating faith in Him. [Refrain]  

4 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]
