AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL

 

Oh 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 impassion'd stress

A thoroughfare for freedom beat across the wilderness  

America America God mend thine ev'ry flaw

Confirm thy soul in self control thy liberty in law  

 

O beautiful for heroes prov'd in liberating strife

Who more than self their country loved and mercy more than life  

America America may God thy gold refine

'Til all success be nobleness and ev'ry gain divine  

 

O beautiful for patriot dream that sees beyond the years

Thine alabster 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
