Twelve Gates To The City

Lyrics

(Folk song)

Refrain
Oh what a beautiful city
Oh what a beautiful city
Oh what a beautiful city
Twelve gates to the city, Hallelujah

1. 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  Refrain

2. When I get to heaven, gonna sing and shout,
There’s twelve gates to the city, Hallelujah
Ain’t nobody there gonna keep us out,
There’s twelve gates to the city, Hallelujah  Refrain

3. 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  Refrain
