God’s Grace

‘…I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.’—2 Timothy 1:12‘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 believed,                     And am persuaded that He is able              To keep that which I’ve committed                     Unto Him against that day.”‘I know not how this saving faith       To me He did impart,Nor how believing In His Word       Wrought peace within my heart‘I know not how the Spirit moves,       Convincing men of sin,Revealing Jesus thro' the Word,       Creating faith in Him.‘I know not what of good or ill       May be reserved for me,Of weary ways or golden days,       Before His face I see.‘I know not when my Lord may come,       At night or noonday fair,Nor if I walk the vale with Him,       Or “meet Him in the air.” ’—D. W. Whittle (El Nathan)
