Sunday's Hymn

We did sing out of the hymn book this morning, but one of them was To God Be the Glory, a hymn I posted as the Sunday hymn only a little while ago, and the rest were more obscure ones with words I can’t find on the internet. So it’ll be another of my favorites today.

I like this one, but I like it especially because it was a favorite of both my mother and my husband.

I Know Whom I Have Believed

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.

Refrain

But I know Whom I have believèd,
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 us of sin,
Revealing Jesus through 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.

—Daniel Whittle

How about a viola, violin and piano performance of this hymn from the Bloomington Korean Baptist Church? You’ll like it, I promise.
