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 alter
The dearst and the best

The love that never falters
The love that pays the price
The love that makes undaunted
The final sacrifice

And there's another country
I've heard of long ago
Most dear to them that love her
Most great to them I 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

Lets consider this work by Gustav Holst as our new national anthem. The problem with the current piece, is that in the lyrics, our country is not mentioned at all. We could also consider Jerusalem by Hubert Parry. The Scots,Welsh,Irish have much more interesting material for their national songs. We could run a national competition open to all students at Uni studying music. Write a killer tune with really inspiring words to lift our country up. This contest could run for say 1 or 2 years. Get down to the best 25 songs, give these songs national air time on BBC radio. stations 2 or 3. Via a national poll to the BBC get down to the best 2 songs for a grand final on TV. more »
