Charlotte Church I Vow To Thee My Country Lyrics
I Vow To Thee, My Country by 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.
[Repeat]
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.
[Repeat]

And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase,
And her ways are ways of gentleness and all her paths are peace.
