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 believèd;
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;
Or how believing in His word
Wrought peace within my heart.

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

I know not what of good or ill
May be reserved for me,
Of weary ways or golden days
Before His face I see.

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’.
