Twelve Gates to the City - Solomon Burke

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

Twelve gates to the city, hallelujah who are those children dressed in red?

There’s twelve gates to the city, hallelujah

Must be the children that Moses led

There’s twelve gates to the city, hallelujah

My Jesus done just what he said

There’s twelve gates to the city, hallelujah

He healed the sick and he raised the dead

There’s twelve gates to the city, hallelujah
