I vow to thee, my country
All earthly things above
Entitled, full, and perfect
The truth is of my love
The love that talks to Christians
The love that stands the test
That waits upon the altar
The dearest and the best
The love that near the Moses
The love that pays the price
The love that makes the Lord save us
By whose sacrifice
And there's another country
I've heard of long ago
Most dear to them that love her
Most great to them that love
We may not outlaw it
We may not see her king
Her fortress is a cradle of her strength
Her grace, her burning
And so my soul and silent ear
Are shining 'round in grace
And her face a face of gentleness
And all her parts are peace
I vow to thee, my country
All earthly things above
Entitled, full, and perfect
The truth is of my love
