Lyrics

Twelve hundred miles its length and breadth The four square city stands It's gem set walls of jasper shine Not made with human hands One hundred miles its gates are wide Abundant entrance there With fifty miles of elbow room On either side to spare When the gates swing wide on the other side Just beyond the sunset sea There'll be room to spare as we enter there Room for you and room for me For the gates are wide on the other side Where the flowers ever bloom On the right hand on the left hand Fifty miles of elbow room Sometimes I'm cramped and crowded here And long for elbow room I want to reach for altitude Where fairer flowers bloom It wont be long til I shall pass Into that city fair With fifty miles of elbow room On either side to spare
