HIS EYE IS ON THE SPARROW
1. Why should I
feel discouraged,
Why should the
shadows come,
Why should my heart
be lonely,
And long for heav'n
and home,
When Jesus is my
portion?
My constant friend
is He:
His eye is on the
sparrow,
And I know He
watches me;
His eye is on the
sparrow,
And I know He
watches me.
Refrain
I sing because I'm
happy,
I sing because I'm
free,
For His eye is on
the sparrow,
And I know He
watches me.
2. "Let not your heart be troubled,''
His tender word I
hear,
And resting on His
goodness,
I lose my doubts
and fears;
Tho' by the path He
leadeth,
But one step I may
see:
His eye is on the
sparrow,
And I know He
watches me;
His eye is on the
sparrow,
And I know He
watches me.
3. Whenever I am
tempted,
Whenever clouds
arise,
When songs give
place to sighing,
When hope within me
dies,
I draw the closer
to Him,
From care He sets
me free:
His eye is on the
sparrow,
And I know He
watches me;
His eye is on the
sparrow,
And I know He
watches me.
