1.
Why should I feel discouraged? Why should the shadows come?
Why should my heart be lonely And long for heaven 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.

Chorus .
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 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.

3.
Whenever I am tempted, Whenever doubts arise,
When songs give place to sighing, When hope within me dies,
I draw the closer to Him, From cares He sets me free,
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He cares for me;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He cares for me.
