This Traditional American Spiritual song describes the vision of the Apostle John of the New Heaven, the New Earth, and the New Jerusalem, which was revealed to him around 90 A.D., while he was exiled to the Island of Patmos in the Mediterranean.  The Holy Spirit and the Bride of Christ's Church send out a final appeal to enter into His Kingdom to dwell with Him forever and ever.


Twelve gates to the city

Twelve gates to paradise

Where angels are singing

And day never turns to night

And He carried me away in the spirit

To a city not made with hands

Descending out of heaven was the city

It was the New Jerusalem

Halleluia

And the building of the wall was of jaspar

The city was pure gold

The foundation of the wall of the city

Was garnished in precious stone

Halleluia

And the Spirit and the Bride say come

Let him that heareth say come

Let him that is athirst say come

Unto the gates of the city

Halleluia

OH WHAT A BEAUTIFUL CITY

OH WHAT A BEAUTIFUL CITY

OH WHAT A BEAUTIFUL CITY

THERE ARE TWELVE GATES

THERE ARE TWELVE GATES

HALLELUIA

Twelve gates to the city

Twelve gates to paradise

Where angels are singing

and day never turns to night

And He carried me away in the spirit

To a city not made with hands

And descending out of heaven was the city

It was the New Jerusalem

Halleluia
