Wait a Little Longer, Please Jesus

Here the labor is so hard, and the workers are so tired
And our weary hearts are yearning for the rest
And we find we're getting anxious to be in that happy land
Where we'll receive such peace and happiness

But wait a little longer, please Jesus
There's 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 we say:

Wait a little longer, please Jesus
There's so many still wandering out in sin
Just a little longer, please Jesus,
A few more days to get our loved ones in

The family's scattered here and there; but Lord, we love them dear
And maybe we can help them find their way
Then if waiting is the cause that they may not be lost,
Lord, that's the only reason why we say

Wait a little longer, please Jesus
There's so many still wandering out in sin
Just a little longer, please Jesus,
A few more days to get our loved ones in.
