Here the labour is so hard and the workers are so tired

And our weary hearts are longing for a rest

And we find we're getting anxious to be in that happy land

Where we'll receive such peace and happiness

Wait a little longer please Jesus

There are so many a-wandering out in sin

Just a little longer please Jesus

A few more days togather our loved ones in

We may look into the skies and tearswillfill our eyes

But our burden hearts grow heavier each day

First we cry oh lord please come come and take your children home

But then we look around us and we say

Wait a little longer please Jesus

There are so many wandering out in sin

Just a little longer please Jesus

Have a few more days to get our loved ones in

The family's scattered here and there but Lord we love them dear

Maybe we can help them find the way

And it waiting is the cost that they might not be lost

Lord that's the only reason why we say

Just 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
