Come home come home it`s suppertime the shadows lengthen fast
Come home come home it`s suppertime we`re going home at last
Many years ago in days of childhood I used to play when evening shadows come
Then winding down that old familiar pathway I heard my mother call at set of sun
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 Ferlin it`s suppertime what I would give to hear that once more
But for me time has woven a realization of the truth that`s even more thrilling
And that`s when the call comes up from the portal of glory to come home
For it`s suppertime when all of God`s children shall gather around the table
With the Lord at the greatest suppertime of them all
Come home come home...
