Here the labor is so hard and the workers they are tired

And our weary hearts're yearning for a rest

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

Where we'll reseive such peace and happiness

[ Both ]

But 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

[ Merle ]

Family scattered here and there and thought Lord we love them dear

Maybe we can help them find a way

But if waiting is the cost dear ol' Lord then I'll be lost

And that's the only reason why we say

[ Both ]

Wait a little longer please Jesus...

A few more days to get our loved ones in
