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.

 

[Refrain]

But “I know Whom I have believe-ed,

And am persuaded that He is able

To keep that which I’ve committed

Unto Him against that day.”

 

2 I know not how this saving faith

To me He did impart,

Nor how believing in His Word

Wro’t peace within my heart. [Refrain]

 

3 I know not how the Spirit moves,

Convincing men of sin,

Revealing Jesus thro’ the Word,

Creating faith in Him. [Refrain]

 

4 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]

 

5 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]
