[00:00:19] I vow to thee my country

[00:00:25] All earthly things above

[00:00:30] Entire and whole and perfect

[00:00:35] The service of my love

[00:00:41] The love that asks no question

[00:00:46] The love that stands the test

[00:00:52] That lays upon the altar

[00:00:57] The dearest and the best

[00:01:03] The love that never faulters

[00:01:08] The love that pays the price

[00:01:14] The love that makes undaunted

[00:01:20] The final sacrifice

[00:01:26] The love that asks no question

[00:01:31] The love that stands the test

[00:01:37] That lays upon the altar

[00:01:43] The dearest and the best

[00:01:48] I vow to thee my country

[00:01:54] All earthly things above

[00:02:00] Entire and whole and perfect

[00:02:06] The service of my love

[00:02:34] And there's another country

[00:02:40] I've heard of long ago

[00:02:45] Most dear to them that love her

[00:02:51] Most great to them that know

[00:02:57] We may not count her armies

[00:03:03] We may not see her king

[00:03:09] Her fortress is a faithful heart

[00:03:14] Her pride is suffering

[00:03:20] And soul by soul and silently

[00:03:26] Her shining bounds increase

[00:03:31] And her ways are ways of gentleness

[00:03:37] And all her paths are peace

[00:03:44] We may not count her armies

[00:03:50] We may not see her king

[00:03:56] Her fortress is a faithful heart

[00:04:01] Her pride is suffering

[00:04:07] And soul by soul and silently

[00:04:13] Her shining bounds increase

[00:04:19] And her ways are ways of gentleness

[00:04:25] And all her paths are peace
