THE CALL OF HOME, by VIDA WILLIAMS
First Line: At the hour of setting sun
Last Line: When they answer the call of home.
Subject(s): Homecoming
First Line: At the hour of setting sun
Last Line: When they answer the call of home.
Subject(s): Homecoming
At the hour of setting sun
There's a time of folding wings
When all men hear the call of home
And warm to the cheer it brings.
The tread of a thousand feet
Going a thousand ways --
Each with thoughts of peace and rest
Loved ones and happy days.
Thousands of hard worn hands,
Thousands of weary feet,
Thousands with hearts like yours and mine
That hope and hold life sweet.
For love is a path of light
Dispelling the jaded gloam,
And all men find the peace they crave
When they answer the call of home.
