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 at setting sun 

Come home come home it's suppertime the shadows lengthen fast 
Come home come home it's suppertime we're going home at last 

Some of the fondest mem'ries of my childhood are woven around suppertime 
When mother used to call from the backsteps of the old homeplace 
Come on home now son it's suppertime my how I'd love to hear that once again 

But you know time has woven for me a realization of truth that's even more thrilling 
That someday we'll be called up to gather around the suppertable up there 
For the greatest suppertime of them all with our Lord 
I can almost hear the call now comin' from the portals of heaven 

Come home son it's suppertime come on home 

Come home come home...
