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      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 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
