Lyrics:
When I was but a boy in days of childhood
I used to play till evenin' shadows come
Then windin' down an old familiar pathway
I heard my mother call at set of sun
Come home, come home it's suppertime
The shadows lengthen fast
Come home, come home it's suppertime
We're going home at last
Some of the fondest memories of my childhood
Were woven around suppertime
When mom would come to the back steps of the old homeplace
And she’d say, “George, come on in, it's suppertime."
Oh my, but how I'd love to hear that once more
But you know, for me time has woven the realization of
The truth that's even more thrilling and that's when
The Lord comes to the portals of Glory and says,
“Come on in, for it's suppertime.”
And we’ll all be gather around the table with the Lord Himself
At the greatest suppertime of them all!
In visions now I see her standing yonder
And her familiar voice I hear once more
The banquet table’s ready up in Heaven
Ah, it’s suppertime up on the golden shore
Come home, come home, it's suppertime
The shadows lengthen fast
Come home, come home, it's suppertime
We're going home at last
Oh, I’m going home
Oh, I’m heading, heading home someday
Someday
Live from the National Quartet Convention in 2003
The first time EHSS sang at NQC, special guest and legendary vocalist George Younce joined us for this very special song. We’re so very glad he did. https://natqc.com/
