Inspiration[edit]
The theme of the song is inspired by the words of David in the Psalms and Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew in the Bible: 'I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye (Psalm 32:8). 'Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?' (Matthew 6:26) and 'Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows' (Matthew 10:29–31). Sometimes it was sung with the slightly altered title 'His Eye is on the Tiny Bird' and this version was recorded by actress Violet Carson in 1972.
Civilla Martin, who wrote the lyrics, said about her inspiration to write the song based on the scriptures:
Early in the spring of 1905, my husband and I were sojourning in Elmira, New York. We contracted a deep friendship for a couple by the name of Mr. and Mrs. Doolittle—true saints of God. Mrs. Doolittle had been bedridden for nigh twenty years. Her husband was an incurable cripple who had to propel himself to and from his business in a wheel chair. Despite their afflictions, they lived happy Christian lives, bringing inspiration and comfort to all who knew them. One day while we were visiting with the Doolittles, my husband commented on their bright hopefulness and asked them for the secret of it. Mrs. Doolittle's reply was simple: 'His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.' The beauty of this simple expression of boundless faith gripped the hearts and fired the imagination of Dr. Martin and me. The hymn 'His Eye Is on the Sparrow' was the outcome of that experience.[2]
Notable performances[edit]
The song has been performed extensively by both Christian and secular artists.

Whitney Houston recorded a version for the soundtrack of the 2012 remake of the 1976 musical film Sparkle. RCA Records released the song as the second single from the album on June 8, 2012,[3] four months after Houston's death. This version is Houston's last original single, and second posthumous one. The song made its debut only one day after the premiere of 'Celebrate'. AllMusic called it a 'piano, organ, and choir' showcase for Houston, citing it as a highlight of the soundtrack although admitting 'Houston sounds as commanding as one can expect from a later recording.'[4]Entertainment Weekly editor Melissa Maerz called it 'a gorgeously rippling solo' with Houston 'testif[ying ...] that Jesus is watching over her.'[5] Jody Rosen of Rolling Stone panned the cover, saying 'Houston sings – and croaks – in a voice octaves lower than in her prime. At times the song has a ravaged magnificence, but mostly it's painful.'[6]
Later published arrangements[edit]
There are many arrangements of the hymn that have been produced since its original publication. These include:
- 1963, in The Reader's Digest Family Songbook of Faith and Joy[7]
- 1975, in The Josh White Songbook[8]
- 1986: Five American Gospel Songs for solo voice and piano by Luigi Zaninelli includes a concert arrangement of it[9]
- 1999: Six Gospel Hymn Preludes has an arrangement for solo organ by Wilbur Held[10]
- 2007, in Songs of Comfort and Hope: Vocal Solos for Memorial and Funeral Services[11]
