I
Know Whom I Have Believed - Daniel W. Whittle,
1840-1901
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.
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 us 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.
Refrain
But I know
Whom I have believèd, And am persuaded that He is able
To keep that
which I’ve committed Unto Him against that day.
