Another country, another King

St Edwards Crown

The Other Cheek commends the SECOND verse of the British patriotic hymn, “I Vow to Thee my Country”

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.

Sir Cecil Spring Rice/ Gustav Holst
