Lyrics
Rusty Bells
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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.
