I've seen this done several different ways.

- Chorus in bold (typical in printed lyrics to be sung from if everyone, including the lead, sings that part together)

> It was in nineteen hundred and twenty nine  
> **Run come see**  
> I remember that day pretty well  
> Nineteen hundred and twenty nine  
> **Run come see, Jerusalem**

- Chorus in parentheses (typical if the lead does NOT join in the chorus and/or overlaps with it).

> It was in nineteen hundred and twenty nine (Run come see, run come see)  
> I remember that day pretty well

- Singers in separate columns (this makes a nicer presentation for a book, where you're primarily just reading the lyrics, but you want to give a sense of what is being sung together.)

> `LEAD CHORUS
> It was in nineteen hundred and twenty nine
> Run come see
> I remember that day pretty well Run come see
> It was in nineteen hundred and twenty nine`
> 
> Run come see, Jerusalem

- In the style of a script

> _Lead_: It was in nineteen hundred and twenty nine  
> _Chorus_: Run come see, run come see  
> _Lead_ (overlaps chorus): I remember that day pretty well. Nineteen hundred and twenty nine  
> _Both_: Run come see, Jerusalem

Given that there's no one standard method, you can use the one that is best fitted to your needs.
