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

Oh Lord, 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, what a beautiful

Oh

Oh Lord, what a beautiful city

Twelve gates to the city, hallelujah



Oh Lord, what a beautiful city

Oh

Oh Lord, what a beautiful city

Twelve gates to the city, hallelujah



If you see my dear old mother

Won't you do this favor for me

Won't you please tell my mother

To meet me in Galilee

Well, it's twelve gates to the city, hallelujah



Oh Lord, what a beautiful

Yeah

Oh Lord, what a beautiful

Twelve gates to the city, hallelujah



God Almighty!

What you talkin' 'bout?

Oh, Lordy

Whoo!



Oh Lord, what a beautiful

Whoa!

Oh Lord, what a beautiful city

Twelve gates to the city, hallelujah



Oh Lord, what a beauty

Whoa!

Oh Lord, what a beauty

Twelve gates to the city, hallelujah
