( 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 three men riding...
|
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 went to heaven...
|
Eight for the eight that stood at the gate...
|
Nine for the nine who saw the sign...
|
Ten for the ten commandments...
|
Eleven for the eleven deriders...
|
Twelve for the twelve Apostles...
