Family Bible

There's a family Bible on the table

Each page is worn and hard to read

But the family Bible on the table

Will ever be my key to memories

At the end of day when work was over

And when the evenin' meal was done

Dad would read to us from the family Bible

And we'd count our many blessings, one by one

I can see us sittin' round the table

When from the family Bible dad would read

I can hear my mother softly singing

Rock of ages

Rock of ages cleft for me

Now this old world

Of ours is filled with troubles

This old world would also better be

If we'd found more Bibles on the tables

And mothers singin' rock of ages, cleft for me

I can see us sittin' round the table

When from the family Bible dad would read

And I can hear my mother softly singin'

Rock of ages

Rock of ages cleft for me

Rock of ages

Rock of ages cleft for me
