Lyrics I Vow to Thee, My Country - Della Jones feat. BBC Concert Orchestra, Barry Wordsworth & The Royal Choral Society
I
vow
to
thee,
my
country,
all
earthly
things
above,
Entire
and
whole
and
perfect,
the
service
of
my
love,
The
love
that
asks
no
question,
the
love
that
stands
the
test,
That
lays
upon
the
altar
the
dearest
and
the
best.
The
love
that
never
falters,
the
love
that
pays
the
price,
The
love
that
makes
undaunted
the
final
sacrifice.
And
there's
another
country,
I've
heard
of
long
ago,
Most
dear
to
them
that
love
her,
most
great
to
them
that
know;
We
may
not
count
her
armies,
we
may
not
see
her
King;
Her
fortress
is
a
faithful
heart,
her
pride
is
suffering;
And
soul
by
soul
and
silently
her
shining
bounds
increase,
And
her
ways
are
ways
of
gentleness
and
all
her
paths
are
peace.
