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.
