Twelve Gates to the City Lyrics


Oh, what a beautiful city
Oh, what a beautiful city
Oh, what a beautiful city
Well, twelve gates into the city, Hallelu
Three gates into the east
Three gates into the west
Three gates into the north
Three gates into the south
Making that twelve gates into the city, Hallelu
Well, oh, what a beautiful city
Oh, what a beautiful city
Oh, what a beautiful city
Well, twelve gates into the city, Hallelu
See those children yonder
They're all dressed in red

They must be the children
Children that Moses led
You know there're twelve gates into the city, Hallelu
Well, oh, what a beautiful
Oh, what a beautiful city
Oh, what a beautiful city
Well, twelve gates into the city, Hallelu
When I get to heaven
I'm goin' to sing and shout
There ain't nobody up there
Who's goin' to put me out
You know there're twelve gates into the city, Hallelu
Well, oh, what a beautiful city
Oh, what a beautiful city
Oh, what a beautiful city
Well, twelve gates into the city, Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelu
