Introduction

All Verses

1. Why should I feel discouraged?Why should the shadows come?Why should my heart be lonelyAnd 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.

2. “Let not your heart be troubled.”His tender word I hear,And resting on His goodness,I lose my doubt and fear.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.

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.

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.

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.
