C There's A Fam'ly F Bible on the C table 
Each Am page is torn and D hard to G7 read 
But C The Fam'ly F Bible on the C table 
Will F ever be my C key to G memo-{C} ries. 
 
C At the close of F day when work was C over 
And Am when the evening D meal was G7 done 
Dad would C read to us F from The Fam'ly C Bible 
And we'd F count our many C blessings G7 one by C one. 
 
Refrain: 
I can F see us Bb sittin' 'round the F table 
When from The Fam'ly Bible Dad would C read 
(1) I can hear my F mother softly C singing 
(2) I can hear my F mama softly C singing 
Rock of Ages, F Rock of C Ages G7 cleft for C me. 
 
This old world of ours is full of troubles 
But this world would oh, so better be 
If we'd find more Bibles on the table 
And mothers singing Rock of Ages cleft for me. 
 
Refrain:
