Have you, heard of the city
How the street are paved with Gold?
Have you heard of the city
How the street are paved with Gold?
And there are twelve gates to the city
Hallelu, Hallelu.
There's twelve angels in the Heav'n (twelve angels)
There's twelve angels in the well (twelve angels)
There's twelve angels in the night (twelve angels)
There twelve angels down in the side (twelve angels)
There twelve angels in the city
Halellu, Hallelu.
