..Twelve Gates To The City

Lyrics by: Traditional
Music by: Traditional

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

There are three gates in the east
And three to the west
There's three to the north
And three to the south
There's twelve gates to the city
Hallelujah

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

Who are those children all dressed in red?
Twelve gates to the city
Must have been 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
