7For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
8Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;
9Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
10But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:
11Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
12For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for 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.
I know not why God’s wondrous graceTo me He hath made known,Nor why, unworthy, Christ in loveRedeemed me for His own.
Refrain
But I know Whom I have believèd,And am persuaded that He is ableTo keep that which I’ve committedUnto Him against that day.
I know not how this saving faithTo me He did impart,Nor how believing in His WordWrought 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 illMay 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.

I'll sing it with you all day !
The singing of this hymn sealed the scripture on my heart when I was young.
Put it on the list of hymns to share with your children, Lord willing,
when they're wee ones.
