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
