I Know Whom I Have Believed (Whittle)

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.

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.

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.
