1908. God Sees the Little Sparrow Fall

1. God sees the little sparrow fall,
It meets His tender view;
If God so loves the little birds,
I know He loves me, too.

Refrain
He loves me, too, He loves me, too,
I know He loves me, too;
Because He loves the little things,
I know He loves me, too.

2. He paints the lily of the field,
Perfumes each lily bell;
If He so loves the little flow’rs,
I know He loves me well. [Refrain]

3. God made the little birds and flow’rs,
And all things large and small;
He’ll not forget his little ones,
I know He loves them all. [Refrain]
