My wife and I processed into our wedding Mass in 2001 to an instrumental setting of this. Then, when everyone was in place, we sang it as a congregational hymn. 22 years later, we sung it twice in three weeks at a funeral and then at the wedding of a niece who was 3 months old at our wedding. This music and the text have inspired so many tears in me.
My daughter will be processing into this on her wedding day in September. I hope more brides will use this in the upcoming years. It starts out the ceremony praising God. What could be more perfect!
I hope my people see this: I want this sung at my funeral. God willing, that's far in the distance, but if anything, this is the message I want to leave you all with. Bless God at all times and in all ways and He will bless you. Death is only temporary for those who remain faithful. Run well the race so as to win, as Paul tells Timothy, and you will join the angels in their hymns and adoration after this life and at the end of time.
This is so glorious. Our God is so powerful and awesome that He is beyond all praising - yet we still sing to Him with love and thanksgiving. “And whether our tomorrows be filled with good or ills, we’ll triumph through our sorrows and rise to bless you still.”
Holst actually put "I Vow to Thee My Country" together with his music and was grateful the lyrics match what he wrote for Jupiter. This is standard for hymns with matching meter lyrics, like "God Save the Queen" and "My Country 'Tis of Thee." But really, this is an excellent arrangement.
Absolutely majestic, the beauty of God’s world put into music. I do say, Gustav Holst has earned a special place in heaven for this amazing piece of art.
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. 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.
Finland, behold, thy daylight now is dawning, the threat of night has now been driven away. The skylark calls across the light of morning, the blue of heaven lets it have its way, and now the day the pow'rs of night is scorning: thy daylight dawns, O Finland that we own! Finland, arise, and raise towards the highest thy head now crowned with mighty memory. Finland, arise, for to the world thou criest that thou hast thrown off thy slavery, beneath oppression's yoke thou never liest. Thy morning's come, O Finland that we own!
it was given to me a very long time ago , when I had been devasted by the murder of a very dear friend , by those wanting to hurt me , several years later I had it played at my mother's funeral Mass , in Thanksgiving to God for all His Love ! it gave me great solace !
Does any one know the reason behind this Hymn in ordination and installation ceremonies? Many priests have mentioned this is a favorite Hymn because they are reminded of their ordination.
I Vow to thee my country was sung to this tune at Prime Minister Winston Churchill's funeral as his body was carried down the River Thames to Blenheim for burial. This song was taught and sung by people in Britian and the Commonwealth.
In the Catholic hymnals we have, there is usually only one part to sing, with the occasional addition of a descant. Very boring and hard for altos/basses. I love the Catholic Church, but miss the four part hymns of my youth.
Hi Alex. I'm guessing but it(melody) is probably of Anglican origin. High Anglican and Roman Catholic share a very similar repertoire for service/mass. This is performed regularly at both Christian traditions as well as many more e.g.Misererei Dei Deus{RC) sung at both now.

We are the Easter people, His joyful sons and daughters of resurrection and eternal life. To God be the glory!

If ever there were a hymn of Thanksgiving, this would be it.
Sacred Heart of Jesus and Immaculate Heart of Mary, Bless us, Protect us, Guide us, Save us!
Amen🙏🏽✝️❤️!
Reminds me of my brother's ordination. Loud and triumphant! but solemn.
“at blessings without number and mercies without end “. Amen.
Love how this was the theme of Gustav Holst’s Jupiter.
Composers really take others idea and make it into something new.

Adore Him all creation! He is Lord of heaven and earth. His mercy knows no end.
How does this not have more views and thumbs up?
***JESUS CHRIST IS KING OF KINGS ,AND LORD OF LORD'S ! ***
Amen!

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.
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.
same song BUT DIFFERENT WORDS here
Finland, behold, thy daylight now is dawning,
the threat of night has now been driven away.
The skylark calls across the light of morning,
the blue of heaven lets it have its way,
and now the day the pow'rs of night is scorning:
thy daylight dawns, O Finland that we own!
Finland, arise, and raise towards the highest
thy head now crowned with mighty memory.
Finland, arise, for to the world thou criest
that thou hast thrown off thy slavery,
beneath oppression's yoke thou never liest.
Thy morning's come, O Finland that we own!

I believe this was played while Winston Churchill's body was brought down the Thames. What a great man God blessed the world with!
That was I vow to thee my country,

@@GreenOval_Adventurers Yes, I much prefer the original hymn. And no-one can sing this like English choirs, they have a unique sound!

This is also known as the planets Jupiter
Is this hymm Anglican or Catholic?
Why not both?
This particular arrangement is Catholic. But Thaxted is an Anglican adaptation of part of Holst's Jupiter.

Can we have more music like this at Catholic mass. Enough with all this “gather us in” folk music crap.
I like both.🤷♂️
