Many years ago in days of childhood
I used to play till evening time would come
Still winding down that old familiar pathway
I hear my mother call that setting sun
Come home, come home, it's supper time
The shadows link done so fast
Come home, come home, it's supper time
We're going home at last
Some of the fondest memories of my childhood
Are woven around supper time
When mother used to call from the back steps of the old home place
Come on home now son, it's supper time
Oh, I'd love to hear that once again
But you know the time has woven for me the realization
Of a truth even more thrilling
That someday we'll be called together around the great supper table up there
For the greatest supper time of them all
With our Lord
I can almost hear the call now coming from the portals of heaven
Come home son, it's supper time
Come home, come home, it's supper time
The shadows link done so fast
Still winding down that old familiar pathway
Will come home, come home, it's supper time

Come home, come home, it's supper time
We're going home at last
Come home, come home, it's supper time
We're going home at last
