Fellowship Hall

Here, the labor is so hard
and the workers are so tired
and our weary hearts are yearnin' for a 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 are so many wandering out in sin.
Wait a little longer, please Jesus.
A few more days to get our loved ones in.

We may look into the skies
and tears may fill our eyes,
for our burdened hearts grow heavier with each day.
First, we cry "Oh Lord please come
and take our children home".
But then we look around us and we say.

(But) Wait a little longer, please Jesus.
There are so many wandering out in sin.
Wait 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.
But if waiting is the cost,
that they might not be lost.
Lord, that's the only reason why we say.

(But) Wait a little longer, please Jesus.
There are so many wandering out in sin.
Wait a little longer, please Jesus.
A few more days to get our loved ones in.
