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;

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.






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.






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.






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.
