Here the labor is so hard and the workers are tired    And our weary hearts are longing for a rest   And we find we're getting anxious to be in that happy land    Where we'll enjoy some peace and happiness   chorus      We may look into the skies and tears wil fill our eyes   For our weary 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,      chorus             The family's scattered here and there but Lord we love them dear   And maybe we can help them find the way   Well if waiting is the cost well they might not be lost    Lord that's the reason why we say,      Chorus      But wait a little longer please Jesus   There's still so many wanderin' out in sin   Just a little longer please Jesus   Just a few more days to get our loved ones in
