Judy Collins Twelve Gates to the City song lyrics

Three gates in the East, three gates in the West

Three gates in the North, three gates in the South

That makes twelve gates to the city, hallelujah

Oh, what a beautiful city

Oh, what a beautiful city

Oh, what a beautiful city

There're twelve gates to the city, hallelujah

Walk right in, you're welcome to the city

Step right up, welcome to the city

Walk right through those gates to the city

There're twelve gates to the city, hallelujah

Oh, what a beautiful city

Oh, what a beautiful city

Oh, what a beautiful city

There're twelve gates to the city, hallelujah

Who are those children all dressed in red?

Twelve gates to the city

Must be the children that Moses sent

There're twelve gates to the city, hallelujah

Rich and the poor, welcome to the city

Young and the old, welcome to the city

Weak and the strong, welcome to the city

There're twelve gates to the city, hallelujah

Oh, what a beautiful city

Oh, what a beautiful city

Oh, what a beautiful city

There're twelve gates to the city, hallelujah

Oh, what a beautiful city

Oh, what a beautiful city

Oh, what a beautiful city

There're twelve gates to the city, hallelujah
