I Know Not Why God's Wondrous Grace

213

(I KNOW WHOM I HAVE BELIEVED )

El Nathan

James McGranahan

1. 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.
   
2. 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.(Last verse: Amen.)
   
3. I know not how this saving faith To me he did impart,
   Nor how believing in his word Wrought peace within my heart.
   Refrain
   
4. I know not how the Spirit moves, Convincing men of sin,
   Revealing Jesus through the Word, Creating faith in him.
   Refrain
   
5. 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
   
6. 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
