Lyrics to the hymn, I Know Whom I Have Believed

 

Mountains, snow, and the road

Introduction
Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog; I hope that I can answer any questions that you might have.

Today, we are looking at the hymn by Daniel Webster Whittle, I Know Whom I Have Believed. It was published in 1883, and is now published in 270 hymnals.

Wow.

It is a very uplifting hymn, and I just love it. 

If you don't know how the tune goes, or if you want to sing along with somebody, go to YouTube and look up Squirrel 24, or Folksandhymns. 

See you later!

The Lyrics 
Verse 1 

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.

Chorus

But, "I know whom I have believed,

And am persuaded that He is able

To keep that which I've committed

Unto Him against that day!"

Verse 2
 
I know how this saving faith
 
To me He did impart;

Nor how believing in His word

Wrought peace within my heart.

Chorus

But, "I know whom I have believed,

And am persuaded that He is able

To keep that which I've committed

Unto Him against that day!"

Verse 3 

I know not how The Spirit moves,

Convincing us of sin;

Revealing Jesus through the word,

Creating faith in Him.

Chorus

But, "I know whom I have believed,

And am persuaded that He is able

To keep that which I've committed

Unto Him against that day!"

Verse 4

I know not what of good or ill 

May be reserved for me;

Of weary ways or golden days

Before His face I see.

Chorus

But, "I know whom I have believed,

And am persuaded that He is able

To keep that which I've committed

Unto Him against that day!"

Verse 5

I know not when my Lord may come,

At night, or noonday fair; 

Nor if I'll walk the veil with Him, 

Or meet Him in the air.

Chorus

But, "I know whom I have believed,

And am persuaded that He is able

To keep that which I've committed

Unto Him against that day!"

Cars, mountains, and trees

Afterwards
Well, what do you think? 

I really like it, especially Squirrel 24's version. 


If there is anything that you want me to cover, or if you know a good hymn singers, let me know in the comments.

I send out new content every Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and the occasional Random Chatty Day. 

Goodbye, and God bless.

Introduction  Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I write the lyrics to hymns, and the occasional recipe. Today, the hymn we are looking at is called This Is My Father's World; it was written in 1901 by a Mr. Maltbie Davenport Babcock. It was originally a poem with sixteen verses, but when it was set to music, only three verses were chosen. A tree and a bush Someday I might do the whole poem, but today, I'm just going to do the three that I know. Let me know if you want me to do the whole poem. Go to YouTube and look up Folksandhymns to find the tune. Now, on with the show! The Lyrics  Verse 1 This is my Father's world; And to my listening ears, All nature sings  And 'round me rings  The music of the spheres. This is my Father's world;  I rest me in the thought Of rocks and trees, Of skies and seas. His hand the wonders wrought. Verse 2 This is my Father's world; The birds, their carols raise. The morning light,  The lily whit

A Kalimba, Ocarina, and Native American Flute      Introduction  Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where my main thing is hymns. Today's hymn is one of my new favorites, Sweet Hour Of Prayer. It was written in 1845 by Mr. William W. Walford, and it is one of the best hymns in the world. In fact, every hymn I like is one of the best hymns in the world; funny how that works. If you don't how the tune goes, go to YouTube and look up Alan Jackson, or Folksandhymns.  Now, on with the show! A bridge   The Lyrics  Verse 1  Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! That calls me from a world of care, And bids me at my Father's throne  Make all my wants and wishes known. In seasons of distress and grief, My soul has often found relief; And oft' escaped the tempter's snare  By thy return, sweet hour of prayer! Verse 2  Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer! The joys I feel, the bliss I share, Of those whose anxious spirits burn With stro
