Family Bible

(Rock of ages cleft for me)
There's a family Bible on the table its pages torn and hard to read
But the family Bible on the table will ever be my key to memory
Cause at the end of day when work was over and when the evening 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 sitting 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 full of trouble but this old world would also better be
If it had more Bibles on the tables
And mothers singing rock of ages cleft for me rock of agesrock of ages cleft for me
