VERSE 1
Surely the isles shall wait for me,
to bring thy sons from far,
their silver and their gold with them,
Unto the name of the Lord thy God,
And to the Holy One of Israel
Because he hath glorified thee
And the sons of strangers
Shall build up thy walls
CHORUS
The Isles, they shall wait for thee
Ooh the islands, they are waiting
They are waiting for the gospel
They are waiting to know Jesus
VERSE 2
When you go to the islands
To preach the gospel
Their kings shall minister unto thee
For in my wrath I smote thee,
But in my favour
Have I had mercy on thee
Therefore thy gates shall be continually open
They shall not be shut day nor night
CHORUS
The Isles, they shall wait for thee
Ooh the Islands, they are waiting
They are waiting for the gospel
They are waiting to know Jesus
VERSE 3
When you go to the islands
To preach the gospel
Men shall bring unto thee
The forces of the Gentiles,
For the nation and kingdom
That will not serve thee shall perish
Yea, those nations
Shall be wasted.
CHORUS
The Isles, they shall wait for thee
Ooh the island of s, they are waiting
They are waiting for the gospel
They are waiting to know Jesus
CHANT
Can’t you go just a little bit further
Can’t you do a little more
