I Know Whom I Have Believed

1883
Text: Daniel W. Whittle
Music: James McGranahan 

[Verse 1]
D                    G   D
I know not why God's won-drous grace
                   A
To me He hath made known,
A7  D              G      D
Nor why, unworthy, Christ in love
   A             A7  D
Re-deemed me for His own.

[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
   G                           D
To keep that which I've commit-ted
     A     A7          D
Unto Him a-gainst that day."

[Verse 2]
D                   G   D
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
   G                           D
To keep that which I've commit-ted
     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,
       D/F#  A7          Em7   D
And am per-suad-ed that He is a - ble
   G                           D
To keep that which I've commit-ted
     A     A7          D
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
   G                           D
To keep that which I've commit-ted
     A     A7          D
Unto Him a-gainst that day."
