"But unto you who revere and worshipfully fear My name shall the
Sun of Righteousness arise with healing in His wings and beams,
and you shall go forth and gambol like calves released
from the stall and leap for joy."
(Malachi 4:2)
I know not why God's wondrous grace
To me He hath made known
Nor why, unworthy, Christ in love
Redeemed me for His own.
But I know Whom I have believe'd
And am persuaded that He is able
To keep that which I've committed
Unto Him against the day.
I know not how this saving faith
To me He did impart,
Nor how believing in His Word
Wrought peace within my heart.
But I know Whom I have believe'd
And am persuaded that He is able
To keep that which I've committed
Unto Him against the day.
I know not how the Spirit moves,
Convincing us of sin,
Revealing Jesus through the Word,
Creating faith in Him.
But I know Whom I have believe'd
And am persuaded that He is able
To keep that which I've committed
Unto Him against the day.
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 believe'd
And am persuaded that He is able
To keep that which I've committed
Unto Him against the day.
I know not when my Lord may come,
At night or noonday fair,
Nor if I'll walk the vale with Him,
Or meet Him in the air.
But I know Whom I have believe'd
And am persuaded that He is able
To keep that which I've committed
Unto Him against the day.
"I Know Whom I Have Believed"
