Oh, what a beautiful city

Oh, what a beautiful city

Twelve gates to the city, hallelujah

And it’s oh, what a beautiful

Twelve gates to the city, hallelujah

There’s three gates in the East

There’s three gates in the West

There’s three gates in the North

There’s three gates in the South

That makes twelve gates to the city, hallelujah
