I Vow to Thee My Country Songtext

von G4

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

-Instrumental-

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
