ROCK OF AGES, ROCK OF AGES CLEFT FOR ME
THERE'S A FAMILY BIBLE ON THE TABLE
EACH PAGE IS WORN AND HARD TO READ
BUT THE FAMILY BIBLE ON THE TABLE
WILL EVER BE MY KEY TO MEMORY

AT THE CLOSE OF DAY WHEN WORK WAS OVER
AND WHEN THE EVENING MEAL WAS DONE
DAD WOULD READ TO US FROM THE FAMILY BIBLE
AND WE'D COUNT OUR MANY BLESSING ONE BY ONE

I CAN SEE US SITTING AROUND THE TABLE
WHEN FROM THE FAMILY BIBLE DAD WOULD READ
I COULD MY MOTHER SOFTLY SINGING
ROCK OF AGES, ROCK OF AGES CLEFT

THIS OLD WORLD OF OURS IS FULL OF TROUBLE
BUT THIS WORLD WOULD OH SO BETTER BE
IF WE'D HAVE MORE BIBLE ON THE TABLES
AND MOTHERS SINGING ROCK OF AGES CLEFT FOR ME

I CAN SEE US SITTING AROUND THE TABLE
WHEN FROM THE FAMILY BIBLE DAD WOULD READ
I COULD MY MOTHER SOFTLY SINGING
ROCK OF AGES, ROCK OF AGES CLEFT
