\"Let not your heart be troubled,\"

His tender word I hear,

And resting on His goodness,

I lose my doubts and fears,

Tho' by the path he leadeth,

But one step I may see;

His eye is on the sparrow,

And I know He watches me.

{section: Chorus}
Whenever I am tempted,

Whenever clouds arise,

When song gives 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.

{section: Chorus}
