635. 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]

Amen.
