Why should I feel dis-cou-raged
And why should the sha-dows come
Why should my heart be lone-ly
And long for hea-ven and home
When Je-sus is my por-ti-on?
My con-stant friend is He
Oh, His eye is on the spar-row
And I know He wat-ches me
His eye is on the spar-row
And I know He wat-ches me
And I sing be-cause I抦 happy
And I sing be-cause I抦 free
For His eye is on the spar-row
And I know He wat-ches me
"Let not your heart be trou-bled"
His ten-der word I hear
And rest-ing on His good-ness
I lose my doubts and fears
Though by the path He lea-d-eth
But one step I may see
Oh, His eye is on the spar-row
And I know He wat-ches me
His eye is on the spar-row
And I know He wat-ches me
And I sing be-cause I抦 happy
And I sing be-cause I抦 free
For His eye is on the spar-row
And I know He wat-ches me
When-e-ver I am tempt-ed
When-e-ver clo-uds a-rise
When songs give place to sigh-ing
When hope with-in me dies
I draw the clo-ser to Him
From care He sets me free
Oh, His eye is on the spar-row
And I know He wat-ches me
His eye is on the spar-row
And I know He wat-ches me
And I sing be-cause I抦 happy
And I sing be-cause I抦 free
For His eye is on the spar-row
And I know He wat-ches me.
