[Verse 1]
Many years ago in days of childhood
I used to play till the evening sun would come
Then winding down that 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
Are woven around supper-time
When my mother used to call
From the back steps of the old home place
She said come home son it's supper-time
[Bridge]
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 get that call from the greatest glory
To come home on supper-time
When all of God's children gather around the table
With the love of himself
And we'll celebrate the greatest supper-time of all
[Chorus]
