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 question

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 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



And all her paths are peace
