SUPPERTIME

Composed by Ira F. Stanphill

(C)Many years a(F)go in days of (C)childhood
I (G)used to play till evening shadows (C)come,
Then (C)winding down an (F)old familiar (C)pathway
I (G)heard my mother call at set of (C)sun:

First Chorus:
"Come (F)home, come (G)home,
It's supper (C)time;
The (G)shadows lengthen (C)fast."

One (C)day beside her (F)bedside I was (C)kneeling,
And (G)angel-wings were winnowing the (C)air.
She (C)heard the call for (F)supper time in (C)Heaven
And (G)now I know she's waiting for me (C)There.

Second Chorus:
Come (F)home, come (G)home,
It's supper (C)time;
We're (G)going home at (C)last.

In (C)visions now I (F)see her standing (C)yonder,
And (G)her familiar voice I hear once (C)more.
The (C)banquet table's (F)ready up in (C)Heaven
It's (G)supper time upon the golden (C)shore;

[Repeat First and Second Choruses]
