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

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 men 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
