G C G
There's a family Bible on the table
Em A7 D7
Its pages torn and hard to read
G C G
But the family Bible on the table
C G D7 G
Will ever be my key to memo-ries
C G
At the end of day when work was over
Em A7 D7
And when the evening meal was done
G C G
Dad would read to us from the family Bible
C G D7 G
And we'd count our many blessings one by one
C F C
I can see us sitting round the table
G
When from the family Bible dad would read
C G
And I can hear my mother softly singing
C G D7 G
Rock of ages rock of ages cleft for me
C G
This old world of ours is full of trouble
Em A7 D7
But this old world would also better be
G C G
If we'd find more Bibles on the tables
C G D7 G
And mothers singing rock of ages cleft for me
C F C
I can see us sitting round the table
G
When from the family Bible dad would read
C G
And I can hear my mother softly singing
C G D7 G
Rock of ages rock of ages cleft for me
