aka "O(h) What a Beautiful City". The song was inspired by chapter 21 of the Book of Revelation, where John’s vision of the New Jerusalem is described.
It had a great, high wall, with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and on the gates the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel were inscribed—on the east three gates, on the north three gates, on the south three gates, and on the west three gates.
[Chorus]
Oh what a beautiful city (x3)
There's twelve gates to the city Hallelujah - Licensing
