First Line: I know not why God's wondrous grace,

I know not why God's wondrous grace
To me hath been made known ;
Nor why — unworthy as I am —
He claimed me for His own.

But I know whom I have believed j 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 ;
Or how believing in His Word
Wrought peace within my heart.

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

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.

5 I know not when my Lord may come ;
I know not how, nor where :
If I shall pass the vale of death,
Or meet Him in the air.
