There’s a vil-lage hid-den deep in the val-ley
-3 -3* -3* -3 -3 -3* -3* -3
A-mong the pine trees half for-lorn
-3 -3 -3 -3 -3 -3 4 4
And there on a sun-ny morn-ing
-3* -3* -3* -3* 4 -3* -3
Lit-tle Jim-my Brown was born
-3 -3 -3 -3 -3 -3 3 -2 -3* -3*
So his par-ents brought him to the chap-el
-3* -4 -4 -4 -4 4 -5 4
When he was on-ly one day old
-3 -3 -3 -3 -3 -3 -3 4 4
And the priest blessed the lit-tle fel-low
-3* -3* -3*-3* 4 -3* -3
Wel-come Jim-my to the fold
-1 -1 -2 -2 -3* -3* -5 -5
All the chap-el bells were ring-ing
-1 -1 -2 -2 -3* -3* 4
In the lit-tle val-ley town
1 1 -1* -1* -2 -2 4 4
And the song that they were sing-ing
1 1 -1*-1* 4 4 -3*
Was for ba-by Jim-my Brown
-1 -1 -2 -2 -3* -3* -5 -5
Then the lit-tle con-gre-ga-tion
-1 -1 -2* -2* 4 4 -3*
Prayed for guid-ance from a-bove
-1* -1* 3 3 4 4 -5 -5
Lead us not in-to temp-ta-tion,
-1 -1 -2 -2 -3*-3* 4 4
Bless this hour of med-i-ta-tion
1 1 -1* -2 -5 5 -3*
Guide him with e-ter-nal 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
Of thy great eternal love
