Sir Cecil Arthur Spring-Rice, GCMG GCVO [February 27, 1859 - February 14, 1918] was the poet and GustavTheodore Holst [Gustavus Theodor von Holst, September 21, 1874 - May 25, 1934] was the composer of 'I Vow to Thee My Country', in 1921.
One of the most memorable, moving associations of the composition is with the events in the life of Diana, Princess of Wales [July 1, 1961 - August 31, 1997]. The Princess identified the piece as one of her favorites and specifically requested its playing at her wedding on July 29, 1981. It was sung at her funeral 16 years later, on September 6, 1997.
The International Lyrics Playground link doesn't include the second of the three verses to the musical masterpiece. It wasn't included in the performance and seldom is used.
The YouTube video is particularly interesting in the views of Westminster Abbey's dramatic flooring and architecture, the performers, the light from the open doors, and the casket. The camera angles from above always make me think of the Princess' unbounded spirit directed to her two young sons - the Princes William [b. June 21, 1982] and Harry [b. September 15, 1984] - and to the country and the many people she so loved.

What do thee and thou mean?
Thee and thou are both somewhat obsolete English pronouns for 'you'. e.g. # In 'Wherefore art thou, Romeo?' (meaning 'Why are you Romeo?' or 'Why are you a Montague, Romeo?'): thou is the second person singular subject case pronoun in this sentence. # In 'I Vow to Thee, My Country', I is the subject, thee is the second person singular objectcase pronoun. You, thou and thee were all in common usage in Old English (before 1066), Middle English (1066-1400) and Early Modern English (1400-1700), the last evidenced by the works of Shakespeare, where he freely uses all three forms. "Thee" and "thou" were already on the way out in Shakespeare's day and have become less common since but can still be found particularly in prayers and other devotional literature. For example, "I Vow to Thee, My Country" was written in 1921, clearly past the Early Modern period.Here is another example of the two forms (object and subject forms) in the first two lines of Shakespeare's famous Sonnet 18. "Shall I(subject) compare thee (object) to a summer's day?Thou(subject) art more lovely and more temperate."A study of the development of English usage over time shows that the grammar and usage of these forms (thou/thee) is not consistent. However, in all cases the meaning is 'you'.
