16. Be Careful

1 Little feet, be very careful where you go, (where you go,)
As in life you daily travel to and fro, (to and fro;)
Never for a moment stray from the straight and narrow way,
Oh, be careful, be careful, little feet.

Chorus:
Be careful little feet,
Jesus watches from above,
He watches over you in tend'rest love, (in tender love,)
Never for a moment stray from the straight and narrow way,
Oh, be careful, be careful, little feet.

2 Little hands, be very careful what you do, (what you do,)
Wrong or tho'tless actions you will surely rue, (you will rue;)
Into mischief never go, for 'tis very wrong you know,
Oh, be careful, be careful, little hands.

Chorus:
Be careful little hands,
Jesus watches from above,
He watches over you in tend'rest love, (in tender love.)
Into mischief never go, for 'tis very wrong, you know,
Oh, be careful, be careful, little hands.

3 Little eyes, be very careful--look ahead, (straight ahead,)
There are dangers in the path our feet must tread, (daily tread;)
Then a faithful pilot be--turn from ev'ry wrong you see,
Oh, be careful, be careful little eyes.

Chorus:
Be careful, little eyes,
Jesus watches from above,
He watches over you in tend'rest love, (in tender love,)
Then a faithful pilot be--turn from ev'ry wrong you see,
Oh, be careful, be careful, little eyes.

4 Little ears, be very careful what you hear (what you hear,)
When the tempter whispers to you, danger's near, (very near;)
Tho' he promise ev'rything,--ev'ry promise is a sting,
Oh, be careful, be careful, little ears.

Chorus:
Be careful little ears,
Jesus watches from above,
He watches over you in tend'rest love, (in tender love,)
Tho' he promise ev'rything--ev'ry promise is a sting,
Oh, be careful, be careful, little ears.

5 Little hearts, be very careful to be true, (pure and true,)
Love the Lord and He will surely care for you, (care for you;)
Jesus will not enter in where there is the least of sin,
Oh, be careful, be careful, little hearts.

Chorus:
Be careful little hearts,
Jesus watches from above,
He watches over you in tend'rest love, (in tender love,)
Jesus will not enter in where there is the least of sin,
Oh, be careful, be careful, little hearts.
