His Eye Is on the Sparrow

His Eye Is on the Sparrow
Music by Charles H. Gabriel
Lyrics by Civilla D. Martin

Why should I feel discouraged?
And why should the shadows come?
Why should my heart be lonely?
And long for heaven and home?
When Jesus is my portion,
A constant friend is He

His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches over me

I sing because I’m happy,
I sing because I’m free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches over me
