Låttexter: Michael Mcdonald. This Christmas. Children Go Where I Send Thee.

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 swaddling clothing

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
Three for the little bitty baby
Four for the Hebrew children
Five for the gospel preachers

Born, born, born in Bethlehem

Children, go where I send thee
How shall I send thee?

I'm gonna send thee two by two
Three for Paul and Silas
Four for the four that stood at the door
Five for the gospel preachers
Six for the six that never got fixed
Seven for the seven that never got to heaven

He was born, born, born in Bethlehem

Children, go where I send thee
Go where I send thee

Four for the little bitty baby
Seven for the seven that never got to heaven
Eight for the eight that stood at the gate
Nine for the nine all dressed so fine
Ten for the Ten Commandments
Eleven for the eleven riders
Twelve for the Twelve Apostles

He was born, born, born in Bethlehem
He was born, born, born in Bethlehem

Born, Christ was born
Born, Christ was born
Born, Christ was born
Born, Christ was born in Bethlehem

Born, Christ was born
Born, Christ was born
Born, Christ was born
Born, Christ was born in Bethlehem

Born, Christ was born
Born, Christ was born
Born, Christ was born
Born, Christ was born in Bethlehem

Born, Christ was born
Born, Christ was born
Born, Christ was born
Born, Christ was born in Bethlehem

Born, Christ was born
Born, Christ was born
Born, Christ was born
Born, Christ was born in Bethlehem
