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

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 noonday fair,
    Nor if I’ll walk the vale with Him,
    Or “meet Him in the air”
