Re-deemed me for His own.

Unto Him a-gainst that day."
[Verse 2]

I know not how this sav-ing faith
A
To me He did impart,
A7 D G D
Nor how beliving in His word
A A7 D
Wrought peace with-in my heart.
[Refrain]
G D
But "I know whom I have believed,
D/F# A7 Em7 D
And am per-suad-ed that He is a - ble

A A7 D
Unto Him a-gainst that day."
[Verse 3]
D G D
I know not how the spir-it moves,
A
Convincing men of sin,
A7 D G D
Re-vealing Jesus through His word,
A A7 D
Cre-ating faith in Him.
[Refrain]
G D
But "I know whom I have believed,

Unto Him a-gainst that day."
[Verse 4]
D G D
I know not when my Lord may come,
A
At night or noonday fair,
A7 D G D
Nor if I walk the vale with Him,
A A7 D
Or meet Him in the air.
[Refrain]
G D
But "I know whom I have believed,
D/F# A7 Em7 D
And am per-suad-ed that He is a - ble

Unto Him a-gainst that day."
