Here the labor is so hard 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 home Where we'll reseive such peace and happiness But wait a little longer please Jesus There are so many still 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 will fill our eyes For our burdened hearts grow heavier with each day First we cry oh Lord please come come and take your children home But then we look around us and say Wait a little longer please Jesus... The family scattered here and there but Lord we love them dear And maybe we can help them find a way But if waiting is the cost then might not be lost Lord that's the only reason why we say Wait a little longer please Jesus...
