1 I know not why God's wondrous grace
To me he has 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.""
2 I know not how this saving faith
To me he did impart,
Nor how believing in his Word
Wrought peace within my heart. (Refrain)
3 I know not how the Spirit moves,
Convincing men of sin,
Revealing Jesus through the Word,
Creating faith in him. (Refrain)
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. (Refrain)
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. (Refrain)
