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.

To me He did impart,
Nor how believing in His word
Wrought peace within my heart.

Convincing men 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 noon-day fair,
Nor if I’ll walk the vale with Him,
Or “meet Him in the air.”

The vale or valley refers to the valley of the shadow of death from Psalm 23.
We don't know if we will have to do through death or whether Jesus will come on the clouds first and we'll meet him in the air. BUt we do have a wonderful Savior who will bring us safely through whichever one God has planned for us!

As a children’s Bible teacher in my church, I have them memorizing 2 Tim 1:12b. This verse returns to my mind often in this song I sang in church - often of a Sunday evening service - and I’m praying the children, as the future of the church, embed this truth in their hearts as well. Singing proclamations! (However, in 2025, I’m asked to rap it for them! 🫤)

There are time on this journey that all we can say is, I know in whom I have believed into. And I know that no matter what happens good or ill my God is faithful to keep what's been committed to him until the day of his return.

Praise the Lord!
By believing into Christ we are joined to Him organically; we are one spirit with the Lord. We became the many children of God, we became part of the kingdom of God for Him to have a realm on earth where He can rule and reign.
Hallelujah! I am pursuaded that He is able and all we need is in Him!

What is “the vale” we are to walk with Christ in the last verse?
Vale is used for valley for poetic reasons: one syllable instead of two.

Yes, I am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed into His hands against that day.

Oh, I have a revelation this morning. I know whom I have believed in all my life. He is Christ the Son of the LIVING God. The one and only, the true God! I really don’t know why He came as grace to me. But I believe it. When I believed the Spirit came in. Now I believe and Christ as God became so new and fresh to me! Now I know He is able to keep what I have committed to Him. That is my soul.
