There's a mother's deep prayer And a baby's low cry! And the star rains its fire while the beautiful sing, For the manger of Bethlehem cradles a King! 2 There's a tumult of joy O'er the wonderful birth, For the virgin's sweet boy Is the Lord of the earth. Ay! the star rains its fire while the beautiful sing, For the manger of Bethlehem cradles a King! 3 In the light of that star Lie the ages impearled; And that song from afar Has swept over the world. Every hearth is aflame, and the beautiful sing In the homes of the nations that Jesus is King! 4 We rejoice in the light And we echo the song That comes down through the night From the heavenly throng. Ay! we shout to the lovely evangel they bring, And we greet in His cradle our Savior and King! Topics: Jesus, Birth Used With Tune: CHRISTMAS SONG

His eye is on the sparrow, And I know He watches me. [Chorus] I sing because I'm happy, I sing because I'm free; For His eye is on the sparrow, And I know He watches me. 2 "Let not your heart be troubled," His tender words I hear; And resting on His goodness, I lose my doubt and fear. 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. I sing because I'm happy, I sing because I'm free; For His eye is on the sparrow, And I know He watches me. 3 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. [Chorus] Topics: Deliverance, Freedom; God, His Guidance and Care Used With Tune: SPARROW
