Children Go Where I Send Thee
Lyrics
Children, go where I send thee.
How shall I send thee?
Oh, go where I send thee
How shall I send thee?
I'm gonna send thee one by one,
One for the little bitty baby,
Born, born, born in Bethlehem.
Children go where I send thee
How shall I send thee?
Oh go where I send thee
How shall I send thee?
I'm gonna send thee two by two,
Two for Paul and Silas,
One for the little bitty baby,
Born, born, born, in Bethlehem
Children, go where I send thee
How shall I send thee?
Oh, go where I send thee.
How shall I send thee?
I'm gonna send thee three by three,
Three for the Hebrew children.
Two for Paul and Silas,
One for the little bitty baby,
He was born, born, born in Bethlehem.
Bethlehem, Bethlehem, Bethlehem
Children go where I send thee
How shall I send thee?
Oh go where I send thee
How shall I send thee?
I'm gonna send thee four by four
Four for the four who stood at the door
Three for the Hebrew children,
Two for Paul and Silas
One for the little bitty baby,
He was born, born, born in Bethlehem
Children go where I send thee
How shall I send thee?
Oh go where I send thee.
How shall I send thee?
Five for the gospel preacher,
Four for the four who stood at the door
Three for the Hebrew children,
Two for Paul and Silas
One for the little bitty baby,
He was born, born, born in Bethlehem
Children go
Children go
Ten for the ten commandments,
Nine for the nine who looked so fine,
Eight for the eight who stood at the gate,
Seven for the seven who went to heaven
Five for the gospel preacher,
Four for the four who stood at the door
Three for the Hebrew children,
Two for Paul and Silas
One for the little bitty baby,
Born, born, born in Bethlehem
Born, born, born in Bethlehem
Oh he was born, born, born in Bethlehem
Bethlehem, Bethlehem, Bethlehem
Well he was born,
Yes, he was born,
Well he was born in Bethlehem
Bethlehem, Bethlehem, Bethlehem
Bethlehem, Bethlehem, Bethlehem
