"His Eye is on the Sparrow"
Music: Charles H. Gabriel, 1906 Lyrics: Civilla D. Martin, 1906 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: "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: 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; Chorus: His eye is on the sparrow, And I know He cares for me. |
