730. 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, unworthy of such grace,
He claimed me for his own.

Refrain:
Bur 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.

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.
