I Know Whom I Have Believed

I know not why God's wondrous grace
To me hath been made known,
Nor why, unworthy as I am,
He claimed 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.

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 the Spirit moves,
Convincing men of sin,
Revealing Jesus through the Word,
Creating faith in him.

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 what of good or ill
May be reserved for me,
Of weary ways or golden days,
Before his face I see.

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 when my Lord may come;
I know not how or where,
If I shall pass the vale of death,
Or meet Him in the air.

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."
