GRH 319 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.
But I know whom I have believed,
and am persuaded that He is able
To keep that which I have 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.
But I know whom I have believed,
And am persuaded that He is able
To keep that which I have committed
Unto Him against that day.’

(3)
I know not how the Spirit moves
Convincing men of sin,
Revealing Jesus thro’ 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.’

(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,
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.’

(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.’
But ‘I know whom I have believed,
And am persuaded that He is able
To keep that which I have committed
Unto Him against that day.’
