His Eye is on the Sparrow | Hymns for Home and Church

“Let not your heart be troubled.”
His tender word I hear,
And resting on His goodness,
I lose my doubt and fear.
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.
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.
Whenever I am tempted,
Whenever 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.
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.
In the Old Testament, the word “portion” refers to an inheritance (see Psalm 119:57). “Jesus is my portion” expresses our hope in an eternal inheritance with the Lord.
