8.I vow to thee. My Country
Lyrics：Gustav Holst
Music：Gustav Holst
I vow to thee my country, all earthly things above,
entire and whole and perfect, the services of my love;
the love that asks no questions, the love thats 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 no see her king;
her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering;
and soul by soul silently her shining bounds increase,
and her ways are ways of gentleness and all her paths are peace.
repeat
