Author: Civilla D. Martin, 1869-1948 Hymnal: One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism #231 (2018) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.7.7.7 with refrain Scripture: 1 Peter 5:7 First Line: Why should I feel discouraged Refrain First Line: I sing because I'm happy Lyrics: 1 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;
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me.
Refrain:
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;
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. [Refrain]
3 When ever I am tempted,
When ever clouds arise,
When songs give 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 watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me. [Refrain] Topics: The Celebration of the Gospel Story Creation and Providence; Assurance; Confidence; Providence of God Languages: English Tune Title: SPARROW
