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.
