Rusty Bells - Mahalia Jackson

No one praying in the chapel

Where so many prayed before

And they let the bells get rusty

Don’t they care anymore?

Rusty bells, rusty bells

Call your people back again

Call them back to kneel and pray

Again, pray again

Rusty bells, rusty bells

Pitty those who’ve gone astray

Ring again and help them find

Their way, find their way.

We were lost like little children

In a forest dark as night

All we need is love to lead us From the dark to the light

Rusty bells, rusty bells

Fill our hearts with love again

And we’ll all come back again

To you and we’ll shine again like new

Rusty bells
