Clean Hands or Dirty Hands

Nicole used to learn quite a number of songs during her time in the previous kindergarten so I was naturally surprised that she hardly learned any at Grace Kindy. That all changed as she began to sing a couple of songs last week.

Today she sang an old Sunday School favorite I had almost forgotten, "Clean Hands or Dirty Hands" and "Down In My Heart" (click to listen), written by George Willis Cooke [23 April 1848-30 April 1923]. Ah, memories of my time at Sunday Schools at the BBGS and Setapak Sunday School.

Clean hands or dirty hands,
Brown eyes or blue,
Straight hair or curly hair,
Jesus loves you.
Come to him while you may
Be His little lamb today,
Clean hands or dirty hands,
Brown eyes or blue.

Psalm 150:6 Let everything that has breath praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!

  2. Thank you for the lyrics. I learnt Clean Hands or Dirty Hands as a 6yo kindergartener in a Christian school. Despite going to a church later on, this song never came up again. Years later, I could only remember up to "Come to Me while you may, Be His ..." with hand actions while singing this song and all but for many years, I couldn't find the lyrics to complete the song. Now at 50, I finally can sing this song to completion. Thank you!
