F5              C5 
There?s a family bible on the table 
      A5       D5               G5 
Each page is worn and hard to read 
          C5     F5              C5 
But the family bible on the table 
       F5         C5     G5    C5 
Will ever be my key to memory. 
 

               F5                 C5 
At the end of day when work was over 
     A5          D5             G5 
And when the evening meal was done 
            C5          F5              C5 
Dad would read to us from the family bible 
            F5               C5     G5       C5     C5 
And we?d count our many blessings one by one. 
 

       F5        Bb5               F5 
I can see us sitting ?round the table 
                                       C5 
When from the family bible dad would read 
                 F5              C5 
I can hear my mother softly singing 
                F5       C5    G5       C5 
Rock of ages, rock of ages cleft for me. 
 

                    G5                D5 
This old world of ours is full of trouble 
           B5         E5          A5 
But this world would also better be 
        D5           G5           D5 
If we found more bibles on the table 
                 G5           D5     A5       D5 
And mothers singing rock of ages cleft for me 
 
CHORUS X2 
 

          G5      C5                G5 
I can see us sitting ?round the table 
                                       D5 
When from the family bible dad would read 
                G5               D5 
I can hear my mother softly singing 
                G5       D5     A5      D5 
Rock of ages, rock of ages cleft for me. 
                G5       D5    A5       D5 
Rock of ages, rock of ages cleft for me.
