His Eye is on the Sparrow
Melody by Charles Gabriel; Words by Civilla Martin

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: 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: 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;
Though by the path He leadeth, but one step I may see;
His eye is on the sparrow: I know He watches me. (Refrain)
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: I know He watches me. (Refrain)
