Oh, what a beautiful city
Oh, what a beautiful city
Oh, what a beautiful city
Twelve gates to the city, hallelujah
And it's oh, what a beautiful
Oh, what a beautiful city
Oh, what a beautiful city
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
And it's, oh oh oh, what a beautiful
Oh, oh, what a beautiful
Twelve gates to the city, hallelujah
God Almighty, what you talkin' 'bout?
Oh, Lordy, yeah
Oh Lord, what a beautiful city
Oh, what a beautiful city
Oh, what a beautiful city
Twelve gates to the city, hallelujah
If you see my dear old mother
Won't you please tell her for me
That I'm on my way to the city
For the 'Meet me and Galilee'
They've made twelve gates to the city, hallelujah
Oh oh oh, what a beautiful
Whoa, oh oh oh, what a beautiful city
Twelve gates to the city, hallelujah
Oh Lord, what a beautiful
Whoa, oh Lord, what a beautiful city
Twelve gates to the city, hallelujah
