I Know Whom I Have Believed

631 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
   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.

4. 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.

Hymnary.org inserts a verse after verse 3:

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.
