HIS EYE IS ON THE SPARROW NOTE: This is NOT the Lauryn Hill version. This chord chart is based on the ORIGINAL song and melody. "His Eye Is on the Sparrow" is a Gospel hymn. The song was written in 1905 by lyricist Civilla D. Martin and composer Charles H. Gabriel. I hope you enjoy my chordal reharmonization of this hymn.
