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 gettin' 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 wandering 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 may fill our eyes
For our burdened heart grows heavier with each day
First we cry, oh Lord please come, come 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
A few more days to get our loved ones in...
