[00:38.96]I vow to thee, my country,
[00:43.38]all earthly things above
[00:47.84]Entire and whole and perfect,
[00:51.93]the service of my love
[00:56.48]The love that asks no questions,
[01:00.83]the love that stands the test
[01:05.30]That lays upon the altar,
[01:09.63]the dearest and the best
[01:13.92]The love that never falters,
[01:18.31]the love that pays the price
[01:22.59]The love that makes undaunted
[01:27.01]the final sacrifice
[01:31.00]
[01:31.39]The love that asks no questions,
[01:35.61]the love that stands the test
[01:40.01]That lays upon the altar,
[01:44.39]the dearest and the best
[01:48.85]The love that never falters,
[01:53.71]the love that pays the price
[01:58.17]The love that makes undaunted
[02:02.92]the final sacrifice
[02:08.73]
[02:14.30]And there's another country
[02:19.38]I've heard of long ago
[02:24.01]Most dear to them that love her,
[02:28.54]most great to them that know
[02:33.26]We may not count her armies,
[02:37.57]we may not see her king
[02:41.97]Her fortress is a faithful heart,
[02:46.36]her pride is suffering
[02:50.68]And soul by soul and silently her
[02:56.04]shining bounds increase
[02:59.70]And her ways are ways of gentleness
[03:04.22]and all her paths are peace
[03:07.72]
[03:08.61]We may not count her armies,
[03:13.13]we may not see her king
[03:17.56]Her fortress is a faithful heart,
[03:22.17]her pride is suffering
[03:26.67]And soul by soul and silently her
[03:31.32]shining bounds increase
[03:35.82]And her ways are ways of gentleness
[03:40.55]and all her paths are peace
