Great day! Great day, the righteous marching. Great day!
God's going to build up Zion's walls.

1 The chariot rode on the mountaintop,
God's going to build up Zion's walls.
My God spoke and the chariot did stop,
God's going to build up Zion's walls. [Refrain]

2 This is the day of jubilee,
God's going to build up Zion's walls.
The Lord has set his people free,
God's going to build up Zion's walls. [Refrain]
