Lyrics

The lyrics are copyright so cannot be reproduced here. But they are currently available on this website (auto-downloads). A rough outline is:

Chorus:
On that day, on that halleluia day,
On that day, on that halleluia day,
There’ll be singin’, there’ll be shoutin’,
And joy flows like a fountain on that day.

1 We’ll see the holy city there; the new Jerusalem.

2 Twelve gates to the kingdom we shall see; all nations will walk as one.

3 No need of the sun or moon to shine; the glory of God is there.

Chorus: On that day, on that halleluia day, On that day, on that halleluia day, There’ll be singin’, there’ll be shoutin’, And joy flows like a fountain on that day. 1 We’ll see the holy city there; the new Jerusalem. No more sorrow, no more cryin’. No more death, no more pain. 2 Twelve gates to the kingdom we shall see; all nations will walk as one. Lifting our voices, claiming our choices. Glory and honour shall be. 3 No need of the sun or moon to shine; the glory of God is there. Darkness to light, God’s face in our sight. Joy from God’s love we will share. Final chorus: On that day, on that halleluia day, On that day, on that halleluia day, There’ll be singin’, there’ll be shoutin’, And joy flows like a fountain. Joy flows like a fountain. Joy flows like a fountain on that day, on that day.
