Chorus 1
Come home come home it's supper time
The shadows length in fast
Come home come home it's supper time
We're going home at last


Verse 1
When I was but a boy in days of childhood
I used to play till evening shadows come
Then winding down an old familiar pathway
I heard my mother call at set of sun


Verse 2
One day beside her bedside I was kneeling
And angel wings were winnowing the air
She heard the call for supper time in heaven
And now I know she's waiting for me there


Verse 3
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 supper time upon the golden strand
