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.

Dear Alma Mater hear our vow of faith and trust in thee- Thy spirit hovers near us now and through eternity- Thy colors true of red and white shall e'er exalted be- We'll honor thee both day and night. Dear Alma Mater we love thee.

The central idea of the poem "I Vow to Thee, My Country" is the conflict between love and loyalty to one's country and the greater, universal sense of duty and loyalty to a higher ideal or divine power. The poem explores the idea of sacrifice and devotion to a cause beyond national borders.
That version is by Beck Goldsmith and its called I vow to thee my country :) Awesome song
The meaning of this poem is fairly self explanatory. The first verse extols the virtues of patriotism. The second makes it clear that the Christian should look beyond his/her own country and recognise that we are all one race and should promote God's country.

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'.
At Winston Churchill's funeral, the hymns sung were "O God, Our Help in Ages Past" and "I Vow to Thee, My Country." Both hymns were chosen due to their emotional and patriotic themes, and their ability to convey a sense of solemn remembrance and tribute to Churchill's leadership and legacy.

As of their beliefs to Christianity nuns are a group of women who vow for poverty, chastity, and obedience. I don't think any one person wrote "instructions" for nuns but they have followed their tradition for centuries.
