Rock of Ages, Rock of Ages cleft for me.



There's a fam'ly bible on the table

Each page is torn and hard to read

But the fam'ly bible on the table

Will ever be my key to memories.



At the end of day when work was over

And when the evening meal was done

Dad would read to us from the fam'ly bible

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



Refrain:

I can see us sittin' 'round the table

When from the fam'ly 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 troubles

This old world would oh, so better be

If we had more bibles on the table

And mothers singing Rock of Ages cleft for me.



Refrain:

I can see us sittin' 'round the table

When from the fam'ly bible dad would read

I can hear my mother softly singing

Rock of Ages, Rock of Ages cleft for me.



Rock of Ages, Rock of Ages cleft for me...
