Oh well, I, John, he saw might numbers
  A way up in the middle of the air
  I, John he saw might numbers
  Way in the middle of the air
  Got to mighty move, John, you saw mighty numbers
  Way up in the middle of the air
    Well there were three gates in the east
  And there were three gates in the west
  Three gates in the north
  Three gates in the south
  And that makes twelve gates to the city all square wide
    John, you saw might numbers way up in the middle of the air
  Well John declared that he saw a man
  He held twelve bright stars in his right hand
  Well his eyes flashed fire like the burning sun
  Old John got scared and he wanted to run
  Well he wanted to run but his feet wouldn't go
  Cause he felt the gospel cutting like a two-edged sword
  And he heard a voice that said John, you take a look
  And read what you see and then you write it in a book
    And he saw twelve angels in the east
  And there were twelve angels in the west
  Twelve angels in the north,
  Twelve angels in the south
  That's a total of forty-eight angels to the city, four squared wide
