Found on the way to somewhere else, I was reminded of this lovely hymn

I Vow to Thee, My Country
Words: Cecil A. Spring-Rice, 1918.
Music: �Thaxted,� Gustav T. Holst, 1921

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.
