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
