Here the labor is so hard
And the workers, they are tired
And our weary hearts are yearnin' for a rest
And I find we're getting anxious
To be in that happy home
Where we'll receive such peace and happi- ness.
CHORUS
But 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.
The family's scattered here and there
And oh, Lord we love them dear
Maybe we can help them find the way
But if waiting is the cost
Dear, oh, Lord they might be lost
And that's the only reason why we say.
CHORUS

Dear, oh, Lord they might be lost
