British Patriotic Song: I Vow to Thee My Country

"I Vow to Thee, My Country" is a British patriotic hymn, created in 1921, when a poem by Sir Cecil Spring Rice was set to music by Gustav Holst.
The poem circulated privately for a few years after it was written in 1908 or 1912, until it was set to music by Holst, to a tune he adapted from his Jupiter to fit the words of the poem. The first verse invokes Britain, and the second verse, the Kingdom of Heaven. It was performed as a unison song with orchestra in the early 1920s, and it was finally published as a hymn in 1925/6 in the Songs of Praise hymnal (no. 188).
