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 reseive 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

[ steel ]

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...
