648. I Vow to Thee, My Country
- English
- Lyrics
- Key B
- Hymn 648
Verse 1
I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above,
Entire and whole and perfect,
the service of my love:
The love that asks the reason,
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.
Verse 1
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 one by one and fervently we pray for her increase,
And her ways are ways of gentleness,
and all her paths are peace.
