Children Go Where I Send Thee Lyrics

Children go where I send thee
How shall I send thee?

I'm gonna send you one by one
One for the little bitty baby
Born of the Virgin Mary
Born, born, born in Bethlehem

Children go where I send thee
How shall I send thee?

I'm gonna send you two by two
Two for Paul and Silas
One for the little bitty baby
Born of the Virgin Mary
Born, born, born in Bethlehem

Children go where I send thee
How shall I send thee?

I'm gonna send you three by three
Three for the Hebrew children
Two for Paul and Silas
One for the little bitty baby
Born of the Virgin Mary
Born, born, born in Bethlehem

Children go where I send thee
How shall I send thee?

I'm gonna send you four by four
Four for the four knocking on the door
Three for the Hebrew children
Two for Paul and Silas
One for the little bitty baby
Born of the Virgin Mary
Born, born, born in Bethlehem

Children go where I send thee
How shall I send thee?

I'm gonna send you five by five
Five for the gospel preachers
Four for the four knocking on the door
Three for the Hebrew children
Two for Paul and Silas
One for the little bitty baby
Born of the Virgin Mary
Born, born, born in Bethlehem

Children go where I send thee
How shall I send thee?

I'm gonna send you six by six
Six for the six that couldn't get fixed
Five for the gospel preachers
Four for the four knocking on the door
Three for the Hebrew children
Two for Paul and Silas
One for the little bitty baby
Born of the Virgin Mary
Born, born, born in Bethlehem

Children go where I send thee
How shall I send thee?

I'm gonna send you seven by seven
Seven for the seven that all went to Heaven
Six for the six that couldn't get fixed
Five for the gospel preachers
Four for the four knocking on the door
Three for the Hebrew children
Two for Paul and Silas
One for the little bitty baby
Born of the Virgin Mary
Born, born, born in Bethlehem

Children go where I send thee
How shall I send thee?

I'm gonna send you eight by eight
Eight for the eight that stood at the gate
Seven for the seven that all went to Heaven
Six for the six that couldn't get fixed
Five for the gospel preachers
Four for the four knocking on the door
Three for the Hebrew children
Two for Paul and Silas
One for the little bitty baby
Born of the Virgin Mary
Born, born, born in Bethlehem

He was born, born in Bethlehem!
