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 His 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.
