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 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 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.
And crown thy good
With brotherhood
From sea to shining sea, shining sea.
