I know not why

.i Daniel Webster Whittle (1840-1901)



.1

I know not why God's

wondrous grace

to me has been made known;

nor why - unworthy as I am -

He claimed me for His own.



.0

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;

or how believing in His word

wrought peace upon 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.



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.'
