All the chappel bells are ringing

[Antares 531]

An old country song has been haunting me and I can't remember enough
of it to figure out the name or who made it popular.

All the chapel bells are ringing
In the little valley town.
And the song that they are singing
Is for baby ???? Brown.

???? ???? ???? above,
Bless, oh Lord this congregation,
Lead us not into temptation,
Guide us with eternal love.

Does this ring any bells with anyone? I surely would appreciate any
suggestions.

Hope this is what you're looking for.

Artist: Browns
Song: Three Bells

The Three Bells
Hit #1 on Billboard in 1959 as recorded by 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

Voices only
(bung, bung, bung, bung)
All the chapel bells were ringing in the little village town
And the songs 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

[Voices only]
(Bung, bung, bung, bung)
All the chapel bells were ringing, 'Twas a great day in his
life
Cause the songs 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"

From the village hidden deep in the valley
One rainy morning dark and grey
A soul winged it's way to heaven
Jimmy Brown had passed away

voice only
(bung, bung, bung, bung)
Just a lonely bell was ringing in the little valley town
'twas farewell that it was singing to our little 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".

for but just couldn't remember the title. It's been haunting me for a
long time. Again, thanks, Gordon

It's Valley town, Village town wouldn't make sense !
----------------------------------------------------

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

Were 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 songs that they were singing

Were 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
