167. I Know Not Why God's Wondrous Grace

C.M.
1
I know not why God’s wondrous grace
 
To me He hath made known;
 
Nor why — unworthy as I am — 
 
He claimed 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."
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.
