    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

    A love that asks no questions
    A love that stands the test
    That lays upon the alter
    The dearest and the best

    I vow to thee, my country
    All earthly things above
    Entire and whole and perfect
    The service of my love

    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

    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
