10550. Little Feet, Be Careful

1 I washed my hands this morning,
O very clean and bright,
And lent them both to Jesus,
To work for Him till night.

Refrain:
Little feet, be careful,
Where you take me to;
Anything for Jesus,
Only let me do.

2 I told my ears to listen
Quite closely all day thro’,
For any act of kindness
Such little hands can do. [Refrain]

3 My eyes are set to watch them
About their work or play,
To keep them out of mischief,
For Jesus’ sake all day. [Refrain]
