      Hi, I'm from Indonesia too... and I really love this arrangement for four strings. I think it is better called "Thaxted" since there is not any single word sung here. "I Vow to Thee, My Country" is just one of many hymns written to this tune. It originally came from one part of "Jupiter the Bringer of Jollity" by Gustav Holst with some later lyric additions.

      No, it doesn't. This is not an hymn. The title of the piece is "Jupiter", not "I vow to Thee My Country". Jupiter is a classical piece (without lyrics) that Gustav Holst wrote for The Planets, Op. 32, a seven-movement orchestral suite. "I vow to thee, my county" is a posterior British non-offical hymn that adapted the theme of Jupiter to suit its lyrics. But the original and offical "Jupiter" is a piece with no lyrics.

      Holst was a proud Englishman himself, and was perfectly complicit in adapting it in 1921 specifically for Sir Cecil's poem at the request of the publisher. The adaptation was even named "Thaxted" after his hometown.
      Ultimately, it doesn't matter what you call it, as long as you appreciate it for the great work that it is.

    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.

    The soul-stirring melody of "Jupiter" Holst / "I Vow to Thee, My Country" resonates deeply within me, invoking a profound connection to my Filipino heritage. As the harmonious notes weave through the air, my patriotic heart swells with emotions, reminiscent of the valor displayed by those who gallantly defended their homelands, regardless of nationality. This poignant musical journey becomes a poignant tapestry, inspiring an unwavering love for my country, a love adorned with the majesty of shared struggles and triumphs that transcend borders.

      Actually, this is "Thaxted" which is the name given by Holst to his standalone adaptation of the curiously out-of-place middle section of "Jupiter". This hymnal theme was later used as a in conjunction with a poem by Cecil SpringRice to create the popular hymn "I vow to thee my country". If they had entitled it "Thaxted" however, only die hard Holst fans would have looked for it under that name. Most people know it by the name of the hymn.
