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

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 doubt and fear

Tho' by the path He leadeth, but one step I may see

His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me

Whenever I am tempted, whenever clouds arise

When song gives 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 cares for me
