Children, go where I send Thee
How will I send Thee,
I’m a-going to send Thee
One by one
As was the little baby born, born in Bethlehem
Two as Paul and Silas
Three as the Hebrew children
Four as the four, who stood at the door
Five as the five Gospel preachers
Six as the six, who never got fixed
Seven as the seven, who went up in heaven
Eight as the eight, who stood at the gates
Nine as the nine, who never went behind
Ten as the ten Commandments
Eleven as the eleven disciples
Twelve as the twelve apostles
