Why should I feel discouraged
Why should the shadows come
Why should my heart feel lonely
And long for heaven and home?
When jesus is my portion
My constant friend Is he
His eye is on the sparrow I know he watches me
His eye is on the sparrow I know he watches me

I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow I know he watches me
His eye, his eye is on the sparrow I know he watches
I know he watches I know he watches me
I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow I know, I know, I know he watches over He watches over me
lyrics by Civilla Durfee Martin (1905)
