Children, Go Where I Send Thee Christmas Carol Lyrics :

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 swaddling clothing
Lying in the manger
Born, born oh, 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 (or: Joseph and Mary)
One for the little bitty baby
Wrapped in swaddling clothing
Lying in the manger
Born, born oh, born in Bethlehem.
