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 in brotherhood
From sea to shining sea
Oh, beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife
Who more than just their country loved
In mercy more than life
America, America, may God thy glory find
Till all success be nobleness
And every gain divine
Oh, beautiful for patriot dream
Who sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears
America, Oh America
God shed His grace on thee
Till selfish gain no longer stain
The banner of the free
From sea to shining sea
