WARNING! This version of the song may cause spontaneous singing and/or dancing!

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.

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.

Words: Civilla D. Martin
Music: Charles H. Gabriel
