Hymn - I Vow To Thee My Country - Thaxted - with words - Daniel Roberts | Organist

Hymn: I Vow to Thee, My Country.
Organ accompaniment with words/lyrics.
Tune: Thaxted. Gustav Holst 1874-1934.
Words: Cecil Spring Rice 1859-1918.
1. I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above,
Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love;
The love that asks no questions, the love that stands the test,
That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best;
The love that never falters, the love that pays the price,
The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.
2. And there's another country, I've heard of long ago,
Most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know;
We may not count her armies, we may not see her King;
Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering;
And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase,
And her ways are ways of gentleness, and all her paths are peace.

Do you have a notation of this?

[@DanielRobertsMusic.]

It is listed as ‘Thaxted’ in most hymn books. Let me know if you need any further help finding it.

Needs to be UK national anthem

[@neosangperisaibumi]

It's too long

[@DanielRobertsMusic.]

Our actual National Anthem is seven verses long by some accounts 🤷‍♂️

[@neosangperisaibumi]

@@DanielRobertsMusic. Yes, I memorized 3 stanzas of the national anthem, and I prefer the melody of "God Save The King/Queen"
