         Em        A                         D

    its pages  worn and hard to read.

    will ever be my key to memories.

2. At the end of day when work was over,

              Em          A                            D

    Dad would read to us from the Fam'ly Bible,

                      C                        G           D         G

    and we'd count our many blessings one by one.

 

          C         F                       C

I can see us sittin' 'round the table,

                                                                G

when from the Fam'ly Bible Dad would read.

I can hear my mother softly singing,

rock of ages, rock of ages left for me.

                  Em              A                   D

    this old world would, oh, so better be,

                 G              C                  G

    if we'd find more Bibles on the table,

                                        C        G      D        G

    and mothers singing rock of ages left for me.

                                               C         G      D        G

+ CHORUS  + rock of ages, rock of ages left for me.
