redeemed me for his own.

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."

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 me of sin,
revealing Jesus through the Word,
creating faith in him. [Refrain]

at night or noonday fair,
nor if I'll walk the vale with him,
or meet him in the air. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: EL NATHAN
