The New Christian Hymnal ‎#252

252. I Know Not Why God's Wondrous Grace

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.

Chorus:
But "I know whom I have believed,
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
Wrought peace within my heart. [Chorus]

3. I know not how the Spirit moves,
Convincing men of sin,
Revealing Jesus thro' the Word,
Creating faith in Him.
But "I know whom I have believed,
And am persuaded that He is able
To keep that which I've committed
Unto Him against that day."

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. [Chorus]
