I Vow to Thee My Country - Nathan Lay
Lyrics by：Cecil Rice/Gustov Holst
Composed by：Cecil Rice/Gustov Holst
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 arepeace
