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      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 getting 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 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   When our burdened hearts grow heavier with each day   First we cry, oh Lord, please come, come and take your children home   Then we look around and suddenly we say      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
