《I vow to thee， my country (Thaxted)》歌词

[00:00:00] I vow to thee, my country (Thaxted) - Peter Stevens

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

[00:00:06] All earthly things above

[00:00:11] Entire and whole and perfect

[00:00:17] The service of my love

[00:00:22] The love that asks no question

[00:00:27] The love that stands the test

[00:00:33] That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best

[00:00:44] The love that never falters

[00:00:50] The love that pays the price

[00:00:55] The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice

[00:01:11] And there's another country

[00:01:17] I've heard of long ago

[00:01:22] Most dear to them that love her

[00:01:27] Most great to them that know

[00:01:33] We may not count her armies

[00:01:39] We may not see her King

[00:01:44] Her fortress is a faithful heart

[00:01:50] Her pride is suffering

[00:01:56] And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase

[00:02:07] And her ways are ways of gentleness

[00:02:14] And all her paths are peace
