I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day (2 Timothy 1:12).
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 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.
