Verse 1
Why should I be 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.
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.

Verse 2 [see also the alternate Verse 2 below]
"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.

[Repeat Chorus]

Verse 3
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 His sparrow,
And I know He watches me.
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He cares for me.

[Repeat Chorus]


[Alternate Verse 2, as sung on the video:]
Verse 2
Oh, "Let not your heart be troubled,"
His tender Words I hear.
Just rest within His goodness,
And lose your doubts and fear.
Though by rough paths He leadeth,
And only one step you'll see,
His eye is on His sparrow,
And I know He's watching me.
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He's watching thee.
