    Lyrics: The Three Bells
    There's a village hidden deep in the valley,
    Among the pine trees half forlorn.
    And there on a sunny morning,
    Little Jimmy Brown was born.
    All the chapel bells were ringing,
    In the little valley town,
    And the songs that they were singing,
    Was for baby Jimmy Brown.
    And 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 deep in the valley,
    beneath the mountains high above.
    And there twenty years thereafter,
    Jimmy was to meet his love.
    All the chapel bells were ringing,
    'Twas a great day in his life.
    For the songs that they were singing,
    Was for Jimmy and his wife.
    And the little congregation,
    Prayed for guidance from above.
    Lead us not into temptation,
    Bless oh Lord this celebration,
    May their lives be filled with love.
    From the village hidden deep in the valley,
    One rainy morning dark and grey.
    A soul winged its way to Heaven,
    Jimmy Brown had passed away.
    Just a lonely bell was ringing,
    In the little valley town.
    'Twas fair well that it was singing,
    To our good old Jimmy Brown.
    And the little congregation,
    Prayed for guidance from above,
    Lead us not into temptation,
    May his soul find true salvation,
    of Thy great eternal love.

    While another Brown has winged her way to Heaven, she and her brother left us with this song of strong community and faith.
    We need to reignite the flame of Love and Faith in our communites and all of us pray for guidance from above, especially with
    upcoming elections.
    Let us not be tempted to hate one another, but deliver us from this evil spirit of hatred and violence that is washing over this land.
    Let the Bells of the little congregation ring celebrating life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness all over America.
    May God's love reign down and heal our land.

    The Three Bells
    The Browns
    There's a village hidden deep in the valley
    Among the pine trees half forlorn
    And there on a Sunny morning
    Little Jimmy Brown was born
    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 deep in the valley
    Beneath the mountains high above
    And there, twenty years thereafter
    Jimmy was to meet his love
    All the chapel bells were ringing
    Was 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 oh Lord, this celebration
    May their lives be filled with love"
    From the village hidden deep in the valley
    One rainy morning dark and gray
    A soul winged its way to heaven
    Jimmy Brown had passed away
    Just a lonely bell was ringing
    In the little valley town
    'Twas 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
    May his soul find the salvation
    Of thy great eternal love"
