F              C 
There?s a family bible on the table 
      Am       D               G 
Each page is worn and hard to read 
          C     F              C 
But the family bible on the table 
       F         C     G    C 
Will ever be my key to memory. 
 

               F                 C 
At the end of day when work was over 
     Am          D             G 
And when the evening meal was done 
            C          F              C 
Dad would read to us from the family bible 
            F               C     G       C     C7 
And we?d count our many blessings one by one. 
 

       F        Bb               F 
I can see us sitting ?round the table 
                                       C 
When from the family bible dad would read 
                 F              C 
I can hear my mother softly singing 
                F       C    G       C 
Rock of ages, rock of ages cleft for me. 
 

                    G                D 
This old world of ours is full of trouble 
           Bm         E          A 
But this world would also better be 
        D           G           D 
If we found more bibles on the table 
                 G           D     A       D 
And mothers singing rock of ages cleft for me 
 
CHORUS X2 
 

          G      C                G 
I can see us sitting ?round the table 
                                       D 
When from the family bible dad would read 
                G               D 
I can hear my mother softly singing 
                G       D     A      D 
Rock of ages, rock of ages cleft for me. 
                G       D    A       D 
Rock of ages, rock of ages cleft for me.
