i vow to thee, my country
Singer: charlotte church
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 loves 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.
