C  F     G        C        Em  F              G Am
I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above,

Em F        G         C            F          Dm C
entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love.

C   G         Am      G         C   G         C          F 
The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test,

     Am    Em  F   C         Dm          Am  G
that lays upon the altar the dearest and the best.

Em  F         G     C        Em  F              G   Am
The love that never falters, the love that pays the price,

Em  F         G       C           F       Dm C
the love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.



[Verse 2]
 
C   F       G       C        Em   F             G Am
And there’s another country, I’ve heard of long ago,

Em   F       G         C              F             Dm   C
most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know.

C  G       Am        G       C  G       C       F 
We may not count her armies, we may not see her King,

    Am       Em F C                   Dm         Am G
her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering.

Em  F       G        C        Em  F              G Am
And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase,

Em      F        G       C               F             Dm  C 
and her ways are ways of gentleness, and all her paths are peace.
