There will come a payday, hallelujah what a payday
There will come a payday someday, someday
There will come a payday, hallelujah what a payday
There will come a payday someday

When I lay my work by, I've a home in the sky
For there will come a payday someday
Where no interest comes due or notes to renew
Oh, there will come a payday someday

Here I work every day for such meager pay
But there will come a payday someday
And the title's not clear to the home I own here
But there will come a payday someday

There will come a payday, hallelujah what a payday
There will come a payday someday, someday
There will come a payday, hallelujah what a payday
There will come a payday someday

Our wonderful lord gives a home as reward
'Cause there will come a payday someday
His work cleanly shows he'll never foreclose
He promised a payday that day

When the door opens wide with its beauty inside
Oh, what a grand payday that day
With a handshake and then brother, come right on in!
Hallelujah, what a payday that day

There will come a payday, hallelujah what a payday
There will come a payday someday, someday
There will come a payday, hallelujah what a payday
There will come a payday someday
