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!
When 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.
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
