Deno, You are being very polite! You didn't say the important study part on Sri Lanka I presume, ie is its 26 year old gory ethnic conflict. God bless you! Paneetha @@wallstreetgambler9151
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. RIP Prince Philip 1921-2021
Thank you, David. This is one of those "perfect" hymns, isn't it? You know how to "sell" (or "preach") a hymn - and that's an important and valuable gift. ❤️👍
I agree, Bob. This is definitely a hymn where the melody and tune are so strong that they don't need any extra treatment at all and stand on their own perfectly well.

The moment we've all been waiting for! Wonderful as always, David. Thank you!
One of the most epic organ songs
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.
RIP Prince Philip
