Family Bible

There's a family Bible on the table

Each page is torn and hard to read

But the family Bible on the table

Will ever be my key to memoryAt the end of day when work was over

And when the evenin' meal was done

Dad would read to us from the family Bible

And we'd count our many blessin's one by oneI can see us sittin' round the table

When from the family Bible dad would read

And I can hear my mother softly singin'

'Rock of ages, rock of ages, cleft for me'This old world of ours is filled with trouble

But this old world would also better be

If we'd find more family Bibles on the tables

And mothers singin', 'Rock of ages, cleft for me'

And I can see us sittin'

'Rock of ages, rock of ages, cleft for me'
