Lyrics I Vow To Thee My Country - Gustav Holst , Nicholas Dodd , Laura Wright , The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra , Steven Baker

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 questions
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.
