His Eye Is on the Sparrow [Russian translation]

Why should I feel discouraged

And why should the shadows come

Why should my heart be lonely

And long for heaven and home

When Jesus is my portion?

My constant friend is He:

Oh, His eye is on the sparrow

And I know He watches me

His eye is on the sparrow

And I know He watches me

And I sing because I’m happy

And I sing because I’m free

For His eye is on the sparrow

And I know He watches me

"Let not your heart be troubled"

His tender word I hear

And resting on His goodness

I lose my doubts and fears

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

And I sing because I’m happy

And 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

And I sing because I’m happy

And I sing because I’m free

For His eye is on the sparrow

And I know He watches me

And I sing because I’m happy

And I sing because I’m free

For His eye is on the sparrow

And I know He watches me
