Wait A Little Longer Please Jesus

(Album: Singing On Sunday - 1962)

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
