Children Singing "Children, Go Where I Send Thee"

Edited by Azizi Powell

This is Part II in a two part pancocojams series on the African American Gospel song "Children, Go Where I Send Thee". That song is also known as "The Holy Babe", "The Holy Baby", and "Born In Bethlehem".

This post showcases five videos of children singing "Children, Go Where I Send Thee".

Click http://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2015/12/the-probable-connection-between-english.html for Part I of this series. Part I provides information, comments, and several lyric versions of "Children, Go Where I Send Thee" and of the song "Green Grow The Rushes, O". I agree with some historical musicologists that "Children, Go Where I Send Thee" is an African American adaptation of English and/or Celtic folk song "Green Grow The Rushes, O".
