"I Vow to Thee, My Country" is a British hymn (patriotic song), created in 1921, when a poem by Sir Cecil Spring Rice was set to music by Gustav Holst.
The origin of the hymn's text is a poem by diplomat Sir Cecil Spring Rice, which he wrote in 1908 or 1912, entitled Urbs Dei ("The City of God") or The Two Fatherlands. The poem described how a Christian owes his loyalties to both his homeland and the heavenly kingdom.
In 1908, Spring Rice was posted to the British Embassy in Stockholm. In 1912, he was appointed as Ambassador to the United States of America, where he influenced the administration of Woodrow Wilson to abandon neutrality and join Britain in the war against Germany. After the United States entered the war, he was recalled to Britain. Shortly before his departure from the US in January 1918, he re-wrote and renamed Urbs Dei, significantly altering the first verse to concentrate on the themes of love and sacrifice rather than "the noise of battle" and "the thunder of her guns", creating a more sombre tone in view of the dreadful loss of life suffered in the Great War. The first verse in both versions invoke Britain (in the 1912 version anthropomorphised as Britannia with sword and shield, in the second version simply called "my country"), the second verse the Kingdom of Heaven.
According to Sir Cecil's granddaughter, the rewritten verse of 1918 was never intended to appear alongside the first verse of the original poem, but was replacing it; the original first verse is nevertheless sometimes known as the "rarely sung middle verse". The text of the original poem was sent by Spring Rice to William Jennings Bryan in a letter shortly before his death in February 1918.
The poem circulated privately for a few years, until it was set to music by Holst, to a tune he adapted from his Jupiter to fit the words of the poem. 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). - Hudba

@@pedroapples1680 bummer
I think you will find the mere act of posting a patriotic song could be interpreted as a hate crime in the current climate.
@@laughingachilles I still believe it won't
@David Bennett
A hymn yes but nearly always associated with UK patriotism. The lyrics are from a poem, I suggest you look up who wrote that poem and why, then you will see it is very much about both heaven and an Earthly country.
French here ! This song is beautiful; be proud of yourself England, you ruled the waves once, and a third of the earth beside it. You made the world speak your language, there's nothing you can't do ! 🇨🇵🇬🇧
The last thing i expected was a French comment, thanks for the nice words mate. You French people ain’t all that bad, always had a weak spot for Paris and your women.😅 🇬🇧🇫🇷
Thank you
@@mywestsussex5749 ayyy west sussex too?
Merci beaucoup ❤
'once' for a short blip, a micro-second in the grand scheme of the universe, England is nothing and neither is France, your ex colonies and former slaves are now putting you to shame and taking ownership of the history you stole from them
English grandson of Italian immigrants here. Forever proud to be born under English skies. "Her fortress is a faithful heart"
God bless. As a Welshman, our greatest fighter Joe Calzaghe was a son of an Italian immigrant.
In my opinion, possibly the greatest British boxer ever. Undefeated.

Dear Laura, my very deepest sympathies for your loss. I hope you have lots of help and support from friends and other members of your family.
This is my favourite hymn and it was played at my Mother's funeral just over 4 years ago. I still feel the pain today.

Take care and Best Wishes to you.
I'm an American guy and I'm from Ogden, Utah, I really love the history of the English people including the culture which is very interesting to me and as an American who has English heritage I will be proud of that, My great-grandparents immigrated to America in the Virginia colony from Lanchashire and Essex, England around the 17th century between the 1600s and most of my English great-grandfathers were from the era of American revolutionary soldiers who fought as continental army and patriot troops in the American revolution against the British, in the American Civil War when some of my great-grandfathers fought on the northern side of the Union and some on the southern side of the Confederacy, most of the troops in the American Civil War at that time were of English descent, until its peak in World War 1 where there were more American soldiers who were then sent to Europe to fight against the German, 80% of 100% were probably of English descent on average and played a major role in the French Argonne Forest in the battle against German troops and the fourth from my great-grandfather, one of whom came from an English lineage original from Texas, Arkansas, Utah and Montana.
English man here Laura. I dread the day I lose my dad, but like yours, he will die an Englishman and I take some comfort in that and hope I can make him proud. God bless you and yours, from me and mine.
@@claytonwaynejohnson5315 English Woman here, Thankyou for your kind words and your respectful comments here. We are all family. Much Love from England.
My dad recently died also. He was a proud English man. England still is a great country. Have faith. Play this song regularly
You may feel that you’re alone in Europe, but you have countries and people who will stand by you Britain.

As a youth of Britain, it annoys me to see how unpatriotic england is now, I want england to get its spirit back, we have many reasons to be proud
I am a few years off voting but i believe Britain should allow the natives to speak out without being cut down by traitors.
Lol Jim Pickens
Not anymore Jim, not anymore. England is a fraction of what it once was, there's no reason to be patriotic. What do I have to be patriotic about? Our collapsing NHS? Our failing government? Our media that is allowed to release blatant lies and propaganda with no moderation? - England is better than a lot of places to live, but I've got nothing to be proud of.
@@Yeldur bruh stfu
Yeldur i agree that our country has many things that must be worked on. I believe the NHS is failing due to our government purposely cutting their fundings so they can use it as a reason why privatising would be a better alternative (which will never happen) we have rich history, and currently we are a shadow of our former self, but i believe that we will better ourselves, we always have done in the past. After this pandemic, support for the NHS will be better than ever, and our politicians will help support the NHS (not because they are kind people but because they know the popularity will help them get re elected). I genuinely think that our country will drastically improve after this pandemic.
One of the most beautiful pieces of music in history! From your oldest ally 🇵🇹❤️🏴
Portugal = Goats :) Love england
Yes! Portugal is England's oldest ally! Not many people know of the Anglo-Portuguese Treaty of 1373. Yes the treaty between these two nations is that old and still going strong! BTW..I am from the USA and know about the treaty! :)

john jack Do your research and you’ll realise that that story is no more than a hoax and a rumour that snuck it’s way into the news and parliaments, no such practices took place.
Always, no matter what the Sturgeons of the world say
@john jack as it was written about the eve of the English Navy defeating the Spanish Armada, you are correct. However, having read many of your comments you are also a racist and look to create arguments amongst people who just want to get along. I wish you well and hope you lose thechip from your shoulder soon
@john jack use of the word Scotland doesn't make anyone racist, it's the attitude that goes with it.
The Greatest Country on Earth 🏴
Unemotionally and rationally, I sincerely believe that assertion to be true.
Yeah right your absolutely delusional if you really think we are the best nation on earth..Lols😂
Very few countries in history has caused as much suffering and destruction as England and later their Empire...😑😑😒😔
One day God will bring Judgement and Redemption.
As an Englishman I am proud of my country and what it has given to the world.
Warm beer, the Rule of Law, milky tea, Parliamentary Democracy, herbaceous borders, the Presumption of Innocence ..... the list just goes on and on!

Oh that was just silly squabbles in the past - I would be proud to support France - sending love from the UK
Crusader: I'm of British heritage and proud of it. But I do not like being your enemy, because both our countries and much of Europe are now faced with the same enemy rivals within our countries. And this is where we may have to form some sort of an alliance.
My grandparents moved to the UK in the late 60s from South Asia. I was born in Oxford in 1990. I simply adore the UK, it’s given me everything. Proud to call it my home.
Nice, I was also born in Oxford in 1990! 😃 I’m also a proud Englishman
Go back to your backward subcontinent. You will never be an Englishman. England and the whole United Kingdom will never be your "home." Go back to where you came from. We don't want repulsive creatures, such as you and the rest of your kin.
Proud to call you a fellow Englishman.

A beautiful country with great people, being destroyed by its own politicians.
From Scotland 🏴
You can say that again pal,like all the peoples of thease isles,sold out to globalists.
I love Scottish people like you, and I think the same thing is happening to your country, but hopefully we can restore our cultures and pride in the next coming years🏴🏴
Thank you Scotland, we are ALL British my dear friend
Scottish people are patriotic and love their country because of the lack of religion and race problems.
Their parents teach them to be proud of their history and culture.
I cant say the same for England because prayer and support for the empire and commonwealth isnt being taught to our younger generation and it pains me to see a country that strives from its history and ancient culture fade because of traitors and non-natives.
Keep preaching brother. We will get through to them one day, I hope.
On a truly dark day for Britain, the truest patriots of the nation return to hear this song. This song that promises a stout heart in the face of trial and opposition. No Matter the cost or price. Today the nation, and world, laments the passing of a devout servant of the crown. A woman who vowed to serve this nation to her dying breath. And that she did so.
Queen Elizabeth II. Rest now O faithful Queen. Your reign is done. Your duty fulfilled without fault.
The torch passes to the next servant of the relm.
The Queen is dead. Long live the King!
Vive le Roy Charles III

Just because we are British does not mean we give up being Scottish, Welsh, or English we can be our own and still be proud to be together as Brits!!!

Amazing island history and music
Prussia and Great Britain stood together against the Corsican Tyrant and prevailed. Too bad the opposed each other in later times!

Gulliver? Irish surname
Amen
I'm german, love this. But brits.. why isn't this your National Anthem? Even I would sing along. This piece deserves way more display
It would be if the people could decide
That's somerthing I've been saying for some time now, England needs its own anthem to distiguish it from the rest of the UK, and God Save the Queen doesn't do that. P.S. Love Europeans, do not like the EU; just saying that.
Yep totally agree. England needs its own anthem.
Probably because it would piss off the Scots, Welsh and Irish.
Thank you to our dear friends from Germany , This tune does tug at the heart strings i agree . We do have a few more worthies too Thank you for your lovely comment

England isn't very patriotic anymore, but I feel this country has a lot to be proud of, and I'm proud to be a British girl ❤
It is very patriotic, usually the media portrays patriotism as racist and right wing though, they can call me what they want but it'll never stop me being proud of being born British, this far green country is our home and its people and itself are beautiful, we have a very long a beautiful culture and history that everyone born here should be proud of.
RIP Queen Elizabeth II
Depends where in the nation you go... I'd say the northern cities are still very much patriotic.
England was a Nation once, and one day England will be a Nation again. No longer a mere Province of the United Kingdom, her people living for three hundred years as stateless strangers under Welsh, Scottish and Irish rule, but a sovereign, independent, self-governing Nation-State.
I'm 65, as patriotic as I ever was and so it will remain. I thank God I was born English and will always be proud of our country, its people, history, heritage, culture and Christianity. Our United Kingdom is unique in the world. Despite our differences over hundreds of years we have stayed together and are at our strongest in spirit at the call to arms in defending our islands and helping others across the world.
God bless and protect us all from the evil that now pervades in governments and all institutions in our world ✝️✌️
Don't mess with God's creation ✝️
I'm originally from Hong Kong (fled to US as a kid before communist takeover), but I will forever be loyal to the British crown. Nothing touched me more than seeing a large group of Hong Kong protesters singing God Save the Queen in unison in defiance of the Chinese communist regime in 2019. The Chinese communist party can jail us or even kill us all, but we will never give up our dream of one day reuniting with the British Empire again. Rule, Britannia!
As a young British man, and a proud Yorkshire man and Englishman, I’m ashamed to see how unpatriotic and how immoral many parts of Britain have become today. We need to preserve our glorious heritage.

I'm ashamed to admit that I didn't know this hymn until my Father posthumoustly requested it for his funeral. We both served in the British Army for a good stretch of years and I confess to breaking down when I listened to this through for the first time. It resonates with me, personally and desperately. I am of course all for it being the national anthem, it says it all.
24th of May, when I was a small child in England this was called Empire Day . We would dance around the Maypole and have a parade. Then came September 1939 , and we were fitted for our gas masks which we carried in a cardboard box. But soon people started to knit covers and embroidered them. almost a fashion statement. We went through The rationing, oh for some chocolate!! We huddled in our homes when the bombers went over, and the houses shook when the bombs were dropped, my dad always seemed to know when it was one of ours (planes) or one of theirs. So very long ago . Love the patriotic English hymns and songs, it’s a wonderful country.

@@the0nlycmac To be honest the Entente ("Allied") cause in WWI was in no way valiant or good as it was in WWII. It was simply another war about some diplomatic issue in the balkans, that swiftly escalated into a war between major powers. If anything, the war was an accident, but inevitable. The Agadir Crisis nearly sparked WWI, earlier in the 1910's. Some may argue that a Central Powers victory would be better for world history. Hitler would likely remain docile, the Soviets would never rise to power as the Germans would swiftly intervene in the east. Mao wouldn't either, because there wouldn't be any Soviets to back him up.
The "Kaiserreich" scenario is unrealistic as well. So don't expect a WWII at all. Austria Hungary would likely become Hungarian dominated and would collapse in the later decades into similar countries we saw before WWII (no Yugoslavia, though). Ottomans would've collapsed no matter what. Germany, on the other hand, would end up forced to liberalize in the coming decades as Wilhelm II declines in health. In the 60's they will decolonize.

As a patriotic Welshmen I’m saddened to see that many of my English brothers and sisters no longer share the same pride in England as the Welsh, Scots in their countries 🇬🇧
It might be because every time we do we get called racist
you just need to move outside of London to see it
I think many outside of metropolitan areas probably feel proud to be English. I am a proud Englishman, we have contributed a lot to the world, like the advancement of philosophy, representative democracy, technology, sports, food the list goes on. I am also proud as an Englishman to have brothers in the Welsh, Scots and Irish. Regardless of whether they feel the same about the English. Over the years it's become increasingly "racist", "far right" to be proud to be English. They describe you as a drunk football hooligan. All the sentiment around not being able to wave an English or British flag. It's all ridiculous.
Oh yes we do ,not as overt as our Celtic cousins but believe me it's there.

As an American my heart weeps for all of Britain. I'm so glad after our history we managed to be great allies. The queen played our national anthem when 9/11 happened in solidarity. Rest in piece Queen Elizabeth The Second. Long live the Queen. Today our flags have gone down half way in order for respect. 🇺🇸 🇬🇧🏴 Friends forever and allies till the end of days. God bless The UK
We are kindred after all
As a Zimbabwean of British descent, nothing stirs my soul more with so much pride than this beautiful song. As a son of the motherland, I salute my ancestral country, my good kith and kin. 💛🤍💚🙏🏻🕊🇿🇼🍻🇬🇧🇿🇼🤝🏻🇬🇧🏴🏴
Saluting back at you mate 🇿🇼🍻🇬🇧
God keep you, cousin. Together we made a better world that's now in straits, but when your voice is heard we know that what we did still stands. At The End, we'll win by our quality.
This comment sections so damn positive. If only everyone was like that.
They would be given half the chance, Now we have brexit ,ended labour and now step out into the world again so it will return .

@@lewiselliott6312 Then why the hell would you vote for labour knowing that's what you will get?. I'm sorry but you make no sense but then again labour makes no sense.
We will get our great country back again, we just have to wait for common sense to prevail, and to get a government that is patriotic again,
oh mother England, you can't see me right now, but i have a hand on my chest and tear in my eye.
all my love, from Australia.
you'll see me one day 🇬🇧🇭🇲

May circumstances enable you to achieve your wish. God speed you here safely.
Only because I am hospitalised will I listen to this I respect your comments. 20 years Cap -1 Para. Only shot 4 times legs and upper chest. But we always try and get the job done. I was jumped by 4 chavs hence hospital 5 broken ribs and 2 punctured lungs. Anyway respect to you.

This is about England not Britain
Im not British but i realy love these song i listening every morning before i go to work.
Gretings from Croatia🇭🇷❤
I hope that this will be sung for Queen Elizabeth as it was for Winston Churchill at his funeral. She embodied this song with her vow to devote her whole life, whether it be long or short, to the service of her country. As an American, I adore this song as it’s patriotism can be felt. Our politicians could learn a thing or two from reading and believing these lyrics.
Your sentiment is heartfelt, but the song was originally written in the 1800’s then revised for a patriotic boost for the British troops in WW1, although the song was played at Churchill’s funeral. When I listen to this song it puts a lump in my throat and makes me proud to be British 🇬🇧
It was sung at Her Majesty’s Memorial Service at the National Cathedral in Washington DC. It is one of my favorite hymns and always gives me a lump in my throat.
🥱
I recently heard an English clergyman say this song was racist and should be banned. I was speechless. He said that sleeping under the blanket of freedom that Wolfe, Wellington, and Churchill gave him. This song is a national treasure. Never stop singing it. It inspires all of us. England will never die if this song stays alive. From a Yank.
We dont claim the clergyman thankyou for the kind words I appreciate it the relationship between our countries is a great one and I treasure it deeply 🇬🇧🤝🇺🇲
Jake Smith thanks for the kind words. Keep the faith. If shit keeps going wrong in USA, some of us may secede and return to the crown.
loser alert
Jim Friend: Our arms can't reach across the Atlantic but our thoughts can, most intensely in song, not least of which is this one from Holst. We are brothers in spirit. Long live America and long live England!
Good job no Scottish, Welsh and Irish fought under Churchill. Oh hang on........
the royal australian navy band played this at our war memorial in sydney on the 100th anniversary of the armistice not many people knew the words but i sang along every word. almost cried
A British song sang by Aussies
May God Bless Australia
Connor Macaskill fair enough
I have heard this played on Armistice Day on Whitehall and at the National War Memorial in Melb. Both were indistinguishable in gravitas, dignity and pride. May AU & UK always be the closest and best of friends and partners. Advance Australia, Rule Britannia, God Save The Queen.
I was born In England, to a Pakistani born mother. and British father. My mother loves this hymn, so do I .its for England, its a song that we cherish as our undying love for a country we love .a country that has given so much.
Glad your mother chose to abide here! Greetings!
That's beautiful
Hey same here. I was born in England to a Pakistani mum and a British dad. My ethnicity is Pakistani because my ancestors are from there but I’m glad my grandparents decided to move from Pakistan to England. I’m proud to be British and English
@Proud Anglo-Saxon Don’t need to be Anglo Saxon to be British
I love this song. I've returned here a few times since the passing of Prince Philip and now Elizabeth II. God save the Queen, God save the King.
As an Armenian in pain, this song really makes me feel proud of my country. This song is a masterpiece... the music is just mind-boggling. Be proud of your country. Whatever nationality you have.
Quite so.
Peace to Armenia and its people.
My heart goes out to suffering Armenia
Wonderful to see that this song has such meaning to you also. It is beautiful. And I totally agree. All best wishes to Armenia from the UK.

And if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or large part of it, were subjugated and starving, then our empire, beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British fleet, would carry on the struggle, until in gods good time, the new world, with all its power and might steps forth to the rescue, and the liberation of the old.

I love learning everything about history and i love learning about world history and not just Israeli history and one thing i want to say,
one thing to the UK, the people of England, Scotland, Ireland, wales and to Canada, Australia, India, south Africa, new Zealand, and the entire British commonwealth countries.
Thank you.
Thank you for trying to make a better world from a dark past.
Thank you for sending your boys to fight in both world wars to defending world freedom.

Thank you for what you did to mankind and everything you invented, discovered, and researched for the betterment of the world.

The British will always have my deepest respect. My nation may have declared independence from Britain and fought two bloody wars with them but in time we eventually became the closest of friends. Our nations will also be forever linked to one another due to historical and cultural ties which also deepens the bond between our peoples. The United Kingdom is a great country that is filled with beautiful cities, a fascinating history, and most of all great people. May Britain last forever and may her dignity and glory be preserved for ages to come. May God bless you all from the United States. 🇺🇸 🇬🇧

From I, an American, to you; the English. Your country has some of the most beautiful patriotic music that I have ever heard.
Liam Tuttle too bad we still haven’t adopted our own anthem like Scotland did and instead use the UK anthem
@Denise Bond I don't care if a german or a brit writes an anthem, and most people I know like God save the Queen, but I vow to thee my country is better.
Denise Bond: Well you would probably hate it no matter who it was written by. However it sounds very beautiful considering it was written by a German. Just consider him to be a very good German. I don't care if it was written by an African pygmy. We should not look a gift horse in the mouth.
Thank You Liam and Your Country. Helped Us . God Bless America.

If you tried it, you would never be left alone. Every inch of England above the high-tide mark must be changed and changed utterly forever. The only safety is to push out your village's borders until they touch the shore, and there maintain them at any cost.

Of such teeming destinies,
You could know nor dread nor ease
Were the Song on your bugles blown,

Round the Pit on your bugles blown!
Mother of Ships whose might,

Is the fierce old Sea’s delight,

Chosen daughter of the Lord,
Spouse-in-Chief of the ancient Sword,
There‘s the menace of the Word
In the Song on your bugles blown,

Out of heaven on your bugles blown!
