Here the labour is so hard
and the workers they are tired
And our weary hearts are
yearning for a rest
And I find we're getting anxious
to be in that happy home
Where we'll receive
such peace and happiness
Wait a little longer please Jesus
there are so many wandering out in sin
Just a little longer please Jesus
a few more days to get our loved ones in
(interlude)
Family scattered here and there,
oh Lord we love them dear
Maybe we can help them find, The Way
But if waiting is the cost,
hear oh Lord they might be lost
And that's the only reason why we say
Wait a little longer please Jesus
there are so many wandering out in sin
Just a little longer please Jesus
a few more days to get our loved ones in
Wait a little longer please Jesus
there are so many wandering out in sin
Just a little longer please Jesus
a few more days to get our loved ones in
A few more days to get our loved ones in
