Children Go Where I Send Thee

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?

Two for Paul and Silas
Three for the Hebrew children
Four for the four that stood at the door
Four for the four that stood at the door
Five the for gospel preachers
Six for the six that never got fixed
Seven for the seven who never got to heav'n
Eight for the eight that stood at the gate
Nine for the nine that dressed so fine
Ten for the Ten Commandments
