I vow to thee. My Country
|
|
I vow to thee my country, all earthly things above,
|
entire and whole and perfect, the services of my love;
|
the love that asks no questions, the love thats 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.
|
repeat
|
|
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 no see her king;
|
her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering;
|
and soul by soul silently her shining bounds increase,
|
and her ways are ways of gentleness and all her paths are peace.
|
|
repeat
|
