Why should the shadows come,
Why should my heart be lonely,
And long for heav’n and home;
When Jesus is my portion?

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.

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. [Refrain]
3 When ever I am tempted,
When ever 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. [Refrain] Topics: The Celebration of the Gospel Story Creation and Providence; Assurance; Confidence; Providence of God Used With Tune: SPARROW

Hear, O My Lord, Regard My Cry
Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8.8.8 Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 17 Lyrics: 1 Hear, O my LORD, regard my cry,
my prayer from lips sincere;
send Thine approval from on high,
to make my standing clear;
and greatly as my heart is tried,
O may I not have turned aside;
and greatly as my heart is tried,
O may I not have turned aside.
2 LORD, I resolve with firm desire
no wrong to speak or do;
Thy path alone I choose for mine,
to walk with purpose true;
I cry for help, O LORD to Thee
assured that Thou wilt answer me;
I cry for help, O LORD to Thee
assured that Thou wilt answer me.
3 O keep me, LORD, may I be found
the apple of Thine eye;
with deadly foes arrayed around
to Thee alone I cry;
my only trust and refuge be;
and let Thy wings o'ershadow me;
my only trust and refuge be;
and let Thy wings o'ershadow me.
4 Guard me from those whose joy and pride
and portion is below;
who, with life's treasures satisfied,
no better purpose know;
who, with earth's stores of wealth content,
must leave them all when life is spent;
who, with earth's stores of wealth content,
must leave them all when life is spent.
5 When, clothed in righteousness at last,
Thy glorious face I see,
when all this weary night is past,
and I awake with Thee
to view the glories that abide,
Then– how I shall be satisfied!
to view the glories that abide,
Then– how I shall be satisfied!

Hiding, Dear Lord, in Thee
Author: Rev. J. S. B. Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 17:5 Lyrics: 1 Hiding, dear Lord, in Thee,
Ever in Thee, in Thee,
Wither-soe’er my path shall lead,
This shall be all my plea;
Daily direct me in Thy way,
Never permit my steps to stray,
Hiding in Thee, dear Lord, in Thee,
Ever in Thee, in Thee.
2 Satan may point his darts,
Aiming them at my life,
Striving to poison all my joys,
Tempting to sin and strife;
Still in the shadow of Thy wings,
Calmly secure, my spirit sings,
Hiding in Thee, dear Lord, in Thee,
Ever in Thee, in Thee.
3 Running to my retreat,
Flying at each alarm,
Tempests of troubles rage in vain;
Nothing disturbs my calm.
Death has a sting no more for me,
Over the grave is victory,
Hiding in Thee, dear Lord, in Thee,
Ever in Thee, in Thee.
4 Summoned at length above,
Mounting thro’ parted skies,
Hearing the welcome “Come, well done,”
Having obtained the prize;
Still with the myriad harping throng,
Vieing in love, I’ll shout the song,
Glory to Thee, dear Lord, to Thee,
Ever to Thee shall be. Used With Tune: [Hiding, dear Lord, in Thee]

He Will Keep Me
Author: F. M. Messenger Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 17:9 First Line: When the storms of life assail me, and my vessel’s tempest-tossed Refrain First Line: He will keep me, safely keep me Lyrics: 1 When the storms of life assail me, and my vessel’s tempest-tossed,
With the world arrayed against me, all my hopes seem crushed and lost;
There is One who ne’er forgets me, One who hears my faintest cry,
He has promised that He’ll keep me as the apple of His eye.
Refrain:
He will keep me, safely keep me,
He will keep me as the apple of His eye;
He will keep me, safely keep me,
He will keep me for the meeting in the sky.
2 Some may trust in horse and chariot, some may make of flesh their arm,
Others lean to worldly wisdom, till awakened in alarm;
But the souls who trust in Jesus, daily drawing new supply,
Momentarily He’ll keep them as the apple of His eye [Refrain]
3 Oh, the many difficulties, heavy cares and anxious thought,
Of the soul who works and struggles for a crown that comes to naught;
Weak and weary, heavy-laden, rest He gives, and tears He’ll dry,
Naught can harm, for He will keep them as the apple of His eye. [Refrain]
4 As the roe upon the mountain, as the conqu’ring heroes come,
We will leap, and shout the vict’ry, all along our journey home;
Looking ever unto Jesus, who, at God’s right hand on high,
Sounds the promise “I will keep thee as the apple of mine eye.” [Refrain]
5 In the secret place I’m dwelling, in His shadow I abide,
I have made the Lord my refuge, ‘neath His wings I trust and hide;
Tho’ the terror comes at nightfall, tho’ at noon the arrows fly,
Fearing not, for He will keep me as the apple of His eye. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [When the storms of life assail me, and my vessel’s tempest-tossed]
He Will Keep Me
How oft I grumble and repine
Author: Herbert Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 17:15 Lyrics: 1 How oft I grumble and repine,
With blessings in my hand;
There’s nothing here can satisfy,
Nor gold, nor house, nor land.
2 Sometimes the Lord bestows on me,
His fretful child, a toy,
On which I raise my prospects high,
And look for certain joy.
3 But soon there’s something intervenes;
I’ve something else in view;
The former mercy is forgot,
And I want something new.
4 [Oh! this unstable heart of mine
Is like the troubled sea;
The more I have, the more I want;
When shall I settled be?]
5 I know this wretched world can’t fill
This anxious soul of mine;
O could I to my Father’s will
My soul, my all resign!
6 [Sometimes, alas! I think I can;
I’ll trust the world no more;
But when I meet some little cross,
I’m fretful as before.
7 Why am I captivated thus,
By such poor trifling toys?
Alas! how oft this wretched world
Annoys my better joys!]
8 I want to trust, but cannot trust,
A God of providence;
Although he bless from day to day,
I’m full of diffidence.
9 [When troubles roll in thick and fast,
Ah! then my faith gives way;
Sometimes I think I cannot stand,
No, not another day.]
10 Sometimes, like Ephraim, I rebel,
I cannot bear the yoke;
I kick and murmur at the rod,
And shrink at every stroke;
11 But when my Father smiles again,
Then what a fool am I!
’Tis then, like Ephraim, I repent,
And smite upon my thigh.
12 Like him I mourn, like him I cry,
“Lord, hold me with thy hand;
And draw me by thy special grace;
Hold up, and I shall stand.”
How oft I grumble and repine

Tho’ dangers surrounding, sustain me and guide,
And take me to rest with thy people at last,
