I Vow To Thee, My Country 歌詞

I Vow To Thee, My Country - The First Fifteen Choir

Written by:Gustav 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 alter

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 I 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
