Mahalia Jackson
Rusty Bells
[Intro]
No one praying in the chapel
Where so many prayed before
And they let the bells get rusty
Don't they care anymore?

[Verse 1]
Rusty bells, rusty bells
Call your people back again
Call them back to kneel again and pray
And pray

[Verse 2]
Rusty bells, rusty bells
Pity those who've gone astray
Ring again and help them find their way
Find their way

[Bridge]
When we're lost like little children
In a forest dark as night
All we need is love to lead us
From the dark to the light

[Verse 3]
Rusty bеlls, rusty bells
Fill our hearts with love again
And wе'll all come back again to you
Then you'll shine like new, rusty bells
[Outro]
(Rusty bells, rusty bells)
(Then you'll shine like new)
