Lyrics

Many years ago in days of childhood
I used to play till evening shadows came
Then winding down an old familiar pathway
I heard my mother call at set of sun
"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."
Many years ago, I can remember how that we used to gather around
The old supper table back home. Most every afternoon as I was out
Playing, I'd hear this familiar call: "Jack, Jack, son, come home
It's supper time." And I'd soon make my way home to gather around
The supper table with Mom and Dad and my brothers and sisters
And this is a wonderful memory, and yet those days are gone forever
Now. But you know it brings to my heart a hope that's more precious
Even than the memory of my childhood days. The hope and the
Knowledge that one day God Himself will call all of His children home
For the greatest supper time of them all, and we'll be with Jesus
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
