Family Bible

G C G

1. There's a Fam'ly Bible on the table,

Em A D

its pages worn and hard to read.

G C G

But the Fam'ly Bible on the table,

C G D G

will ever be my key to memories.

G C G

2. At the end of day when work was over,

Em A D

and when the evening meal was done.

G C G

Dad would read to us from the Fam'ly Bible,

C G D G

and we'd count our many blessings one by one.

C F C

I can see us sittin' 'round the table,

G

when from the Fam'ly Bible Dad would read.

C G

I can hear my mother softly singing,

C G D G

rock of ages, rock of ages cleft for me.

G C G

3. Now this old world of ours is full of troubles,

Em A D

this old world would, oh, so better be,

G C G

if we'd find more Bibles on the table,

C G D G

and mothers singing rock of ages cleft for me.

C G D G

+ CHORUS + rock of ages, rock of ages cleft for me.
