Hymn 511
I Know Whom I Have Believed
Verse 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.
To me He hath made known,
Nor why, unworthy, Christ in love
Redeemed me for His own.

and am persuaded that He is able
To keep that which I’ve committed
Unto Him against that day."

To keep that which I’ve committed
Unto Him against that day."
Verse 2
I know not how this saving faith
To me He did impart,
Nor how believing in His word
Wrought peace within my heart.

Wrought peace within my heart.

I know not how the Spirit moves,
Convincing men of sin,
Revealing Jesus through the word,
Creating faith in Him.

I know not when my Lord may come,
At night or noon-day fair,
Nor if I walk the vale with Him,
Or meet Him in the air.
