The Three Bells

The Three Bells - Gale Storm

There's a village hidden in the valley

Among the pine trees half forlorn

Was there on a sunny morning

Little Jimmy Brown was born

So his parents brought him to the chapel

When he was only one day old

And there the blessed the little fellow

Welcomed Jimmy to the fold

All the chapel bells were ringing

In the little valley town

And the song that they were singing

Was for baby Jimmy Brown

Then the little congregation

Prayed for guidance from above

Lead us not into temptation

Bless this hour of meditation

Guide him with eternal love

There's a village hidden in the valley

Beneath the mountains high above

It was there twenty years thereafter

Jimmy was to meet his love

Many friends were gathered on the chapel

And many tears of joy were shed

In June on a Sunday morning

When Jimmy and his bride were wed

All the chapel bells were ringing

Twas a great day in his life

Cause the song that they were singing

Was for Jimmy and his wife

Then the little congregation

Prayed for guidance from above

Lead us not into temptation

Bless Lord this celebration

May their lives be filled with love

From the village hidden in the valley

One rainy morning dark and grey

A soul wings it's way to Heaven

Jimmy Brown had passed away

Silent people gathered at the chapel

To say farewell to their old friend

Whose life had been like a flower

Budding blooming till the end

Just a lonely bell was ringing

In the little valley town

It was farewell that it was singing

To our good old Jimmy Brown

And the little congregation

Prayed for guidance from above

Lead us not into temptation

Make his soul find a salvation

Of thy great eternal love
