I know Whom I have Believed


Words: Daniel Webster Whittle, 1883
Music: "El Nathan," James McGranahan, 1883


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 believed,
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. 

Refrain 

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

Refrain 

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.
