I Know Whom I Have Believed

I KNOW WHOM I HAVE BELIEVED (1883)

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.

(Refrain)

I know not how the Spirit moves,

convincing us of sin,

revealing Jesus through the word,

creating faith in him.

(Refrain)

 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.
