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 MEMORY.
AT THE END OF DAY WHEN WORK IS OVER
AND 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.
THIS OLD WORLD OF OURS IS FULL OF TROUBLE
BUT THIS OLD WORLD OH SO BETTER IT WOULD
BE.
IF WE HAD MORE BIBLES ON THE TABLE
AND MOTHERS SINGING ROCK OF AGES CLEFT
FOR ME.
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.
