[C]
There's a [F] family Bible [C] on the [Dm] table
[G] [F] [C] [D] With pages torn and hard [G] to read
But [C] the [F] family Bible [C] on the table
[Fm] Will ever be [G] my key to [C] memory
At the end [F] of days when [C] work was over
And [D]
when the evening meal [G] was done
[Bm] Dad [C] would read to [F] us from the family [C] Bible
And we'd counter [F] many [C] blessings [G] [C] one by one
I [F] can see [Bb] her sitting round [F] the table
And from the family Bible [C] Dad would preach
And I can hear [F] my mother [C] softly singing
Rock of [F] ages, [C] rock of ages [G] spread [C] for me
[G] [C]
[F] [C] [G] [C]
[G] This [C] whole world [Em] [F] of ours is [C] full of trouble
This [G] whole [D]
world would oh so [G] better be
If [C] we
[Em] had [F] more Bibles [C] on the table
And mothers singing [F] [C] rock of ages spread for me
I [F] can see [Bb] her sitting round [F] the table
And from the family Bible Dad [C] would preach
[Am] I [G] can [C]
hear [F] my mother softly [C]
singing
[G] Rock of ages, [F] [C] rock of ages spread for me
