O beautiful for spacious
skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain
majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America, America,
God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with
brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
O beautiful for pilgrim
feet,
Whose stern, impassioned
stress
A thoroughfare for freedom
beat
Across the wilderness!
America, America,
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in
self-control,
Thy liberty in law!
O beautiful for heroes
proved
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their
country loved
And mercy more than life!
America, America,
May God thy gold refine,
Till all success be
nobleness,
And every gain divine!
O beautiful for patriot
dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities
gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America, America,
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with
brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
