47. But I know Whom I have believed

1. I know not why God's wondrous grace

   To me He hath made me known,

   Nor why, unworthy of such love,

   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.

2. I know not what of good or ill

   May be reserved for me,

   Of weary ways or golden days,

   Before His face I see.

3. I know not when my Lord may come,

   At night or noon-day fair,

   Nor if I'll walk the vale with Him,

   Or meet Him in the air.
