"Suppertime"
(Ira Forest Stanphill)

Many years ago 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

[Chorus:]
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
Her familiar voice I hear once more
She said the banquet table's ready up in heaven
It's suppertime upon the golden shore

[Chorus:]
Come home, come home
It's suppertime
The shadows lengthen fast
Come home, come home
It's suppertime
We're going home at last
Child, you're going home at last
