Can Jesus See and Hear?

When lit­tle child­ren do the wrong

And do not wish the Lord’s to be—

Does He be­hold their ev­ery deed?

Can Je­sus see? Can Je­sus see?

When lit­tle child­ren false­ly speak

Or take in vain that name so dear

Though all un­heard

their words may seem

Can Je­sus hear? Can Je­sus hear?

When lit­tle child­ren

in their hearts

Give ev­il thoughts a chance to grow

Ere yet their bit­ter fruits they bear

Can Je­sus know? Can Je­sus know?

Yes

Je­sus sees our ev­ery deed

And hears each word our lips let fall;

He knows our ev­ery sec­ret thought

And He by these will judge us all.
