[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
