Children Go Where I Send Thee

( From the album "A Very Happy Christmas" ) Children, go where I send thee How shall I send thee? I'm gonna send thee one by one One for the little bitty baby Wrapped in swadling clothing, Lying in a manger. He was born, born Born in Bethlehem. Children, 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. Wrapped in swadling clothing, and lying in a manger. He was born, born Born in Bethlehem. Three for the Hebrew children... Four for the four knockin' at my door... Five for the gospel preachers... Six for the six that never got fixed... Seven for the seven that never got to heaven... Eight for the eight that stood at the gate... Nine for the nine all dressed so fine... Ten for the ten commandments... Eleven for the eleven deriders... Twelve for the twelve Apostles...
