Suppertime Lyrics (Stanphill)
-Solo-
Sung:
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 so fast
Come home, come home, it's suppertime
We're going home, at last
Narrated:
Some of the fondest mem'ries of my childhood
Are woven around suppertime
When Mother used to call
From the back steps of the old home place
Come on home now son, it's suppertime
Oh, I loved to hear that once again
But you know time has woven for me
A realization of a truth that's even more thrilling
That someday we'll be called to gather around the great supper table 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
Sung:
Come home, come home, it's suppertime
The shadows lengthen fast
Come home, come home, it's suppertime
We're going home, at last
