We're closing tonight's service with it, a capella, this way:

TWELVE GATES TO THE CITY
(Trinity Version)
Rev. Gary Davis, edited and additional verses by Susan O. Hinton

CHORUS Oh, what a beautiful city;
Oh, what a beautiful city
Oh, what a beautiful city;
Twelve gates to the city!

There's three gates to the East
And there's three gates to the West.
Three more gates to the North and the South
So you take you the gate that's best...
You get twelve gates to the city, hallelujah!

Three doors in from the sunrise
Three ways into the feast.
Three ways into the heavenly home
If you're comin' in from the east.
But there's twelve gates to the city, hallelujah!

Three doors in from the sunset
Three ways to your rest
Three ways into the heavenly home
If you're comin' in from the west.
But there's twelve gates to the city, hallelujah!

Three doors in from the cold, cold wind
Three ways to warm your heart.
Three ways into the heavenly home
If it's from the north you start.
But there's twelve gates to the city, hallelujah!

Three doors in from the sunshine
Three ways, there's no doubt.
Three ways into the heavenly home
If you're comin' up from the south.
But there's twelve gates to the city, hallelujah!

If you see our friends and loved ones
Won't you please tell them for me,
"Get your wings from Jesus and meet us
By the shores of Galilee.
And there's twelve gates to the city, hallelujah!"
