(Chorus)
O -- what a beautiful city
O -- what a beautiful city God knows
what a beautiful city
twelve gates to the city, hallelu
three gates in the east, three gates in the west
three gates in the north, three gates in the south
which should make twelve gates to the city, hallelu
(Chorus)
city on the hilltop -- I'm gonna make it mine
gonna be a citizen of a world of love divine
twelve gates to the city, hallelu
(Chorus)
no matter which tribe you're born to there's a way in for you
come from any quarter -- you can be a citizen too
'cause there's twelve gates to the city, hallelu
(Chorus)
