Family Bible

	  		
G                C            G 
There's a family Bible on the table  

Em                 A7      D7 
Its pages torn and hard to read 

        G      C            G 
But the family Bible on the table  

     C          G      D7   G 
Will ever be my key to memo-ries 

  
              C                 G 
At the end of day when work was over 
  
 Em                  A7       D7 
And when the evening meal was done 

          G       C                  G 
Dad would read to us from the family Bible 

         C              G         D7     G 
And we'd count our many blessings one by one 

  
  C          F                 C 
I can see us sitting round the table 
  
                                     G 
When from the family Bible dad would read 

                  C             G 
And I can hear my mother softly singing 
  
             C       G    D7        G 
Rock of ages rock of ages cleft for me 

  
                  C               G 
This old world of ours is full of trouble 
  
Em                      A7          D7 
But this old world would also better be 

        G         C             G 
If we'd find more Bibles on the tables 
  
                    C       G    D7        G 
And mothers singing rock of ages cleft for me 

  
  C          F                 C 
I can see us sitting round the table  

                                     G 
When from the family Bible dad would read 

                  C             G 
And I can hear my mother softly singing  

             C       G    D7        G 
Rock of ages rock of ages cleft for me
