1. O beautiful for spacious skies,For amber waves of grain,For purple mountain majestiesAbove the fruited plain,America! America!God shed his grace on theeAnd crown thy good with brotherhoodFrom sea to shining sea.
2. O beautiful for pilgrim feetWhose stern impassioned stressA thoroughfare for freedom beatAcross the wilderness,America! America!God mend thy ev’ry flaw,Confirm thy soul in self-control,Thy liberty in law.
3. O beautiful for heroes provedIn liberating strife,Who more than self their country loved,And mercy more than life,America! America!May God thy gold refineTill all success be noblenessAnd ev’ry gain divine.
4. O beautiful for patriot dreamThat see beyond the years;Thine alabaster cities gleamUndimmed by human tears,America! America!God shed his grace on theeAnd crown thy good with brotherhoodFrom sea to shining sea.
