Three gates in the east

Three gates in the west

Three gates in the north

Three gates in the south

That makes twelve gates to the city Hallelujah



[Chorus:]

Oh what a beautiful city

Oh what a beautiful city

Oh what a beautiful city

There's twelve gates to the city Hallelujah



Walk right in, you're welcome to the city

Step right up welcome to the city

Walk right through those gates to the city

There are twelve gates to the city Hallelujah



[Chorus]



Who are those children all dressed in red

Twelve gates to the city

Must be the children that Moses sent

There are twelve gates to the city Hallelujah



Rich and the poor welcome to the city

Young and the old welcome to the city

Weak and the strong welcome to the city

There are twelve gates to the city Hallelujah



[Chorus 2x]
