MP 279 I know whom I have believed
1. I know not why God’s wondrous grace
  to me has been made known;
  nor why - unworthy as I am –
  He claimed me for His own.
  
  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.’
2. I know not how this saving faith
  to me He did impart;
  or how believing in His word
  wrought peace within my heart.
  
  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.’
3. I know not how the Spirit moves,
  convincing men of sin;
  revealing Jesus through the word,
  creating faith in Him.
  
  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.’
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.
  
  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.’
MP 1072 In Christ alone
1. In Christ alone my hope is found,
  He is my light, my strength, my song;
  this cornerstone, this solid ground,
  firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
  What heights of love, what depths of peace,
  when fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
  My comforter, my all in all,
  here in the love of Christ I stand.
2. In Christ alone - who took on flesh,
  fullness of God in helpless Babe!
  This gift of love and righteousness,
  scorned by the ones he came to save
  till on that cross as Jesus died,
  the wrath of God was satisfied,
  for every sin on Him was laid;
  here in the death of Christ I live.
3. There in the ground his body lay,
  light of the world by darkness slain,
  then, bursting forth in glorious day,
  up from the grave He rose again!
  And as he stands in victory
  sin’s curse has lost its grip on me,
  for I am His and He is mine –
  bought with the precious blood of Christ.
4. No guilt in life, no fear in death,
  this is the power of Christ in me;
  from life’s first cry to final breath,
  Jesus commands my destiny.
  No power of hell, no scheme of man
  can ever pluck me from His hand;
  till He returns or calls me home,
  here in the power of Christ I’ll stand!
