Birds in Hymns
“His eye is on the sparrow”
“Each little bird that sings,”
“And every bird and every tree,”
“Birds with gladder songs o’erflow, flowers with deeper beauties shine”
Those are words from some of the hymns. Do you know where they came from? I gave you the first one.

His Eye Is On the Sparrow sung by Babie Mason is what I run to every time I feel myself getting down. I have used the video on all 4 of my blogs from “Sister Act 2″ so younger people can be introduced to the old hymn originally sung by Ethel Waters. It’s a masterpiece!

Here’s a hymn that makes reference to birds:
THIS IS MY FATHER’S WORLD
Verse2:
This is my Father’s world, the birds their carols raise,
The morning light, the lily white, declare their Maker’s praise.
This is my Father’s world: He shines in all that’s fair;
In the rustling grass I hear Him pass;
He speaks to me everywhere.
Verse 3 has a good message:
This is my Father’s world. O let me ne’er forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the ruler yet.
This is my Father’s world: the battle is not done:
Jesus Who died shall be satisfied,
And earth and Heav’n be one.
