C                                   F                C  
Here the labor is so hard and the workers are so tired 
                                         G7  
And our weary hearts are yearning for a rest 
        C                               F                  C  
And we find we're getting anxious to be in that happy land 
                          G7             C  
Where we'll receive such peace and happiness 
  
                             G7  
Wait a little longer please Jesus  
                                    C  
There are so many wandering out in sin 
                             G7  
Just a little longer please Jesus  
                                       C  
 A  few more days to get our loved ones in 
  
                                F                    C  
We may look into the skies and tears may fill our eyes 
                                                G7  
For our burdened heart grows heavier with each day 
          C                         F                    C  
First we cry oh Lord please come take your children home 
                         G7          C  
But then we look around us and we say 
  
                                   F                C  
Here the labor is so hard and the workers are so tired 
                                         G7  
And our weary hearts are yearning for a rest 
        C                               F                  C  
And we find we're getting anxious to be in that happy land 
                          G7             C  
Where we'll receive such peace and happiness
