221. 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 Christ, in His boundless 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.

2 I know not how this saving faith
To me He did impart,
Nor how believing in His Word
Wrought peace within my heart. [Refrain]

3 I know not how the Spirit moves,
Convincing men of sin,
Revealing Jesus through the Word,
Creating faith in him. [Refrain]

4 I know not when my Lord may come,
At night or noon-day fair,
Nor if I walk the vale with him,
Or meet Him in the air. [Refrain]
