O Be Careful, Little Eyes, What You See

By Traditional English Hymns

Lyrics

1. Oh, be careful, little eyes, what you see,
Oh, be careful, little eyes, what you see.
There’s a Father up above looking down in tender love,
Oh, be careful, little eyes, what you see.
2.  Oh, be careful, little ears, what you hear,
Oh, be careful, little ears, what you hear.
There’s a Father up above looking down in tender love,
Oh, be careful, little ears, what you hear.
3.  Oh, be careful, little tongue, what you say,
Oh, be careful, little tongue, what you say.
There’s a Father up above looking down in tender love,
Oh, be careful, little tongue, what you say.
4. Oh, be careful, little hands, what you do,
Oh, be careful, little hands, what you do.
There’s a Father up above looking down in tender love,
Oh, be careful, little hands, what you do.
5.  Oh, be careful, little feet, where you go,
Oh, be careful, little feet, where you go.
There’s a Father up above looking down in tender love,
Oh, be careful, little feet, where you go.

About This Hymn

“O Be Careful, Little Eyes, What You See” is a well-known children’s Sunday School song that teaches moral vigilance and spiritual awareness through simple, memorable verses. Each stanza addresses a different part of the body (eyes, ears, hands, feet, mouth), urging children to be careful about what they see, hear, and do. The repeated line, “For the Father up above is looking down in love,” highlights both God’s loving watchfulness and the believer’s responsibility to live in a way that honors Him. The song became especially popular in the 1940s and 1950s in Sunday schools, vacation Bible schools, and Christian camps. Its gentle melody and call-and-response structure make it easy for children to learn and remember. Though the exact author is unknown, its enduring message reflects biblical principles of holiness and integrity, encouraging believers of all ages to walk uprightly before God.
