Lyrics
Children, go where I send thee
How will I send thee?
Oh, I'm gonna send thee one by one
For the one was a little bitty baby
Born
Children born in Bethlehem
Children, go where I send thee
How will I send thee?
Oh, I'm gonna send thee two by two
For the two was Paul and Silas
One was a little bitty baby
Born
Children born in Bethlehem
Children, go where I send thee
How will I send thee?
Oh, I'm gonna send thee three by three
For the three was the Hebrew children
Two was Paul and Silas
One was a little bitty baby
Born
Children born in Bethlehem
Children, go where I send thee
How will I send thee?
Oh, I'm gonna send thee four by four
For the four was the four that stood at the door
Three was the Hebrew children
Two was Paul and Silas
One was a little bitty baby
Born
Children born in Bethlehem
Children, go where I send thee
How will I send thee?
Oh, I'm gonna send thee ten by ten
For the ten was the Ten Commandments
Nine was the nine that stood in the line
Eight was the eight that waited at the gate
Seven was the seven that never got to Heaven
Six was the six that didn't get fixed
Oh, my Lord, five was the five that come back alive
Four was the four that stood at the door
Three was the Hebrew children
Two was Paul and Silas
One was a little bitty baby
Born
Children born in Bethlehem
