- 1I know not why God's wondrous graceTo me He hath made known,Nor why, unworthy, Christ in loveRedeemed me for His own.But I know Whom I have believèd,And am persuaded that He is ableTo keep that which I've committedUnto Him against that day.
- 2I know not how this saving faithTo me He did impart,Nor how believing in His WordWrought peace within my heart.But I know Whom I have believèd,And am persuaded that He is ableTo keep that which I've committedUnto Him against that day.
- 3I know not how the Spirit moves,Convincing us of sin,Revealing Jesus through the Word,Creating faith in Him.But I know Whom I have believèd,And am persuaded that He is ableTo keep that which I've committedUnto Him against that day.
- 4I know not what of good or illMay be reserved for me,Of weary ways or golden days,Before His face I see.But I know Whom I have believèd,And am persuaded that He is ableTo keep that which I've committedUnto Him against that day.
- 5I 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.But I know Whom I have believèd,And am persuaded that He is ableTo keep that which I've committedUnto Him against that day.
