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 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
Till 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.
