Suppertime

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Many years ago in days of childhood I used to play till the evening sun would come Then winding down an old familiar pathway I heard my mother call at set of sun [Chorus] Come home, come home, it's supper-time The shadows lengthen fast Come home, come home, it's supper-time We're going home at last [Verse 2] Some of my fondest memories of my childhood Were woven around supper-time When my mother used to call from the back steps of our old home place She said, "Come home, son, it's supper-time" Oh, what I'd have to hear that one more time But you know time has woven a realization of truth That is even more thrilling And that's when we hear that call from the portals of glory To come home for supper-time When all of God's children gather around the table With the Lord himself And we'll celebrate the greatest supper-time of all [Chorus] Come home, come home, it's supper-time The shadows lengthen fast Come home, come home, it's supper-time We're going home at last
