Stamford Remembrance Day 2024 - I Vow to Thee My Country

Transcript

00:00I come to thee, my country, Born of thee, Kings of old,

00:26And I adore and compense The service of thy love,

00:36The love that asks no questions, The love that stands the test,

00:46That lays upon the altar The dearest and the best,

00:56The love that never falters, The love that pays the price,

01:06The love that makes with your death The final sacrifice.

01:17There's another country I've heard of long ago,

01:26Most dear to them that love her, Most great to them that know.

01:36We may not count her armies, We may not see her gain,

01:46Her fortress is a faithful heart, Her pride is suffering,

01:56And soul by soul and silently Her shining bounds increase.

02:06And her ways, her ways of gentleness Are known across all the years.

02:21We will invite you to come again tomorrow when we will remember the Armistice

02:27in company of at least three schools, 250 young people,

02:32as we remember the fallen of the First World War.

02:36But for today, to the one who passes all understanding,

02:41keep your hearts and your minds in the love and in the knowledge of God Almighty

02:46and of his Son Jesus Christ and the blessing of God Almighty.

02:52Father, Son and Holy Spirit, be with us now and forevermore. Amen.
