D                                 G                   D 
Why should I feel discouraged, why should the shadows come 
B7                       Em        A7                   D 
Why should my heart  be  lonely and long for heaven and home  
                                D7              G    Em 
When Jesus is my portion my  constant friend is He  
    A7            D                      A7      D 
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me

B7                       Em        A7                      D

B7                       Em        A7                    D 
When songs give place to sighing when hope within me  dies, 
                                D7                 G    Em
