Oh what a beautiful city

Oh what a beautiful city

Oh what a beautiful city

Twelve gates to the city Hallelujah

Three gates in the East

Three gates in the West

Three gates in the North

Three gates in the South

There's twelve gates to the city Hallelujah

Oh what a beautiful city

Oh what a beautiful city

Oh what a beautiful city

Twelve gates to the city Hallelujah

Who are those children they're dressed in red

There's twelve gates to the city Hallelujah

It must be the children that Moses led

There's twelve gates to the city Hallelujah

Oh what a beautiful city

Oh what a beautiful city

Oh what a beautiful city

Twelve gates to the city Hallelujah

Oh when I get to Heaven gonna sing and shout

There's twelve gates to the city Hallelujah

Ain't nobody there gonna put me out

There's twelve gates to the city Hallelujah

Oh what a beautiful city

Oh what a beautiful city

Oh what a beautiful city

Twelve gates to the city Hallelujah
