On cruel Calvary where he suffered 
There he died upon the cross
That we might be saved my brother 
Freed from sin and not be lost

   Will he wait a little longer
   There's so many out in sin
   Will he wait a little longer
   Give us time to gather in

A vision of that mangled body
I can see his nail-scarred hands
When He calls me way up yonder
I will hear and understand

Many loved ones gone before me
They've made their peace for the final day
But should He call before they're ready
I can almost him them say
