We are in a P&W run at the moment, which isn’t much use from a liturgical perspective but is allowing a fair bit of noise.
No 59 in As One Voice: the Next Generation is Tim Hughes and Ben Cantelon’s song “Happy Day”. Again this song has a very wide vocal range for a shouter and I can‘t see the crowds managing it – it remains a pop/rock song of some merit.
There is a lead sheet here but you can purchase to download a fuller version at musicnotes.
Verse 1:
The greatest day in history, Death is beaten
You have rescued me
Sing it out Jesus is alive
The empty cross, The empty grave
Life eternal You have won the day
Shout it out Jesus is alive
He’s aliveChorus:
Oh happy day, happy day
You washed my sin away
Oh happy day, happy day
I’ll never be the same
Forever I am changedVerse 2:
When I stand, in that place
Free at last, meeting face to face
I am Yours Jesus You are mine
Endless joy, perfect peace
Earthly pain finally will cease
Celebrate Jesus is alive
He’s aliveChorus
Bridge:
Oh what a glorious day
What a glorious way
That You have saved me
Oh what a glorious day
What a glorious nameHey
Chorus

I was hoping I could download this from you but there is no download link which is a shame. I would love to use it in our church
Sorry, Barry. I hadn’t noticed that I’d left the link to the file off. Thanks for letting me know. The download link is on the page now.
