When he opened the fifth seal
I saw under the altar the souls
Slain for the word of God
And testimony they held

They cried with a loud voice, saying
How long O Lord, holy and true
Until you judge and avenge our blood
On those who dwell on the earth?

(How long, how long, how long?)
Rest a little while longer, brethren

Rest a little while longer

I will sing to the Lord
'Cause He has dealt bountifully with me
Rest a little while longer, brethren
Rest a little while longer
