Here the labor is so hard and the workers are so tired
And our weary hearts are yearning for a rest
And we find we're getting anxious to be in that happy land
Where we'll receive such peace and happiness
But wait a little longer, please, Jesus
There's so many still wanderin' out in sin
Just a little longer, please, Jesus
A few more days to get our loved ones in
We may look into the skies and tears wil fill our eyes
For our burdened hearts grow heavy with each day
First we cry, oh Lord, please come, come and take our children home
And then we look around us and we say
But wait a little longer, please, Jesus
There's so many still wanderin' out in sin
Just a little longer, please, Jesus
A few more days to get our loved ones in
The family's scattered here and there but Lord, we love them dear
And maybe we can help them find the way
Then if waiting is the cost, they might not be lost
Lord, that's the only reason why we say
But wait a little longer, please, Jesus
There's so many still wanderin' out in sin
Just a little longer, please, Jesus
A few more days to get our loved ones in
