Why should I feel discouraged
Why should the shadows come
Why should my heart be lonely
And long for heaven and home

When Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!
How I've proved Him o'er and o'er
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
Oh, for grace to trust Him more!

Jesus is my portion
A constant friend is he
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches me

I'm so glad I learned to trust Him
Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend
And I know that He is with me
Will be with me to the end

And I sing because I'm happy
And I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow

Oh, for grace to trust Him more!
And I know he watches me
