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

D7

Will ever be my key to memo-ries

At the end of day when work was over  
  
Em
                  
A7
       
D7
And when the evening meal was done

Dad would read to us from the family Bible 
          
C
              
G
         
D7

And we'd count our many blessings one by one

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

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

And mothers singing rock of ages cleft for me
