"Supper Time" lyrics

"Supper Time"

When I was but a boy in days of childhood
I used to play 'til evening shadows come
Then winding down an old familiar pathway
I heard my mother call at set of 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

One day beside her bedside I was kneeling
And angel wings were winging through the air
She heard the call for suppertime in Heaven
And now I know she's waiting for me there

Come home, come home, it's suppertime
The shadows lengthen fast
Come home, come home, it's suppertime
We're going home at last

In visions now I see her standing yonder
And her familiar voice I hear once more
The banquet table's ready up in Heaven
It's suppertime upon that golden shore

Come home, come home, it's suppertime
The shadows lengthen fast
Come home, come home, it's suppertime
We're going home at last

We're going home at last
