I know not why God’s wondrous grace
我真不知神的奇恩
To me He hath made known,
為何臨到我身；
Nor why, unworthy, Christ in love
我也不知不堪如我，
Redeemed me for His own.
救來有何足多。

But “I know Whom I have believed
惟知道我所信的是誰，
And am persuaded that He is able
並且也深信祂實在是能
To keep that which I’ve committed
保守我所信託祂的，
Unto Him against that day.”
都全備直到那日！

I know not how this saving faith
我真不知救我的信，
To me He did impart,
如何進入我心，
Nor how believing in His word
我也不知何以一信，
Wrought peace within my heart.
便得一個新心。

I know not how the Spirit moves,
我真不知聖靈如何
Convincing men of sin,
引人知道己過，
Revealing Jesus through the Word,
並由聖經顯明耶穌，
Creating faith in Him.
使人接祂為主。

I know not what of good or ill
我真不知我的前途，
May be reserved for me,
到底是甘是苦；
Of weary ways or golden days,
我也不知未見主前，
Before His face I see.
還有甚麼試煉。

I know not when my Lord may come,
我真不知何時主來，
At night or noon-day fair,
那時我是何在⸺
Nor if I’ll walk the vale with Him,
到底我當經過死谷？
Or meet Him in the air.
或將空中遇主？
