Children, Go Where I Send Thee Lyrics - Come Darkness Come Light: Twelve Songs Christmas - Mary Chapin Carpenter

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 

Who's 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 

Who's born, born, born in Bethlehem 

Children, go where I send thee 

How shall I send thee? 

I'm gonna send thee three by three 

Three for the Hebrew children
