I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above
Author: Cecil Arthur Spring-Rice (1859-1918) Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #704 (2005) Meter: 13.13.13.13.13.13 Topics: The Holy Spirit The Church Celebrates - National Life; Remembrance Sunday; Stages of Life Lyrics: 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 question, 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. Scripture: 1 Timothy 2:1-3 Languages: English Tune Title: THAXTED

it is God whose light is shining in the darkness of the land;
it is God who builds the city on the Rock and not on sand:
may the living God be praised!
2 It is God whose purpose summons us to use the present hour;
who recalls us to our senses when a nation's life turns sour;
in the discipline of freedom we shall know his saving power:
may the living God be praised!
3 When a thankful nation, looking back, has cause to celebrate
those who win our admiration by their service to the state;
when self-giving is a measure of the greatness of the great:
may the living God be praised!

for the sake of life tomorrow may our love for it increase;
may all peoples live together, share its riches, be at peace:
may the living God be praised! Scripture: 1 Peter 2:13-17 Languages: English Tune Title: VISION

2 Gather us in: we worship only thee;
in varied names we stretch a common hand;
in diverse forms a common soul we see;
in many ships we seek one spirit-land;
gather us in.
3 Each sees one colour of thy rainbow light;
each looks upon one tint and calls it heaven;
thou art the fullness of our partial sight;
we are not perfect till we find the seven;
gather us in.
4 Some seek a Father in the heavens above,
some ask a human image to adore,
some crave a spirit vast as life and love;
within thy mansions we have all and more;
gather us in. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:12 Languages: English Tune Title: GATHER US IN
