His Eye Is on the Sparrow

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.

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.

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

And I know He watch­es me;

His eye is on the spar­row

And I know He watch­es me.

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.
