Oh beautiful for spacious skies
For amber waves of grain
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain
America, America
G-d shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea
Oh beautiful for pilgrim feet
Whose stern impassioned stress
A thoroughfare of freedom beat
Across the wilderness
America, America
G-d mend thine every flaw
Confirm thy soul in self-control
Thy liberty in law
Oh beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life
America, America
May G-d thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness
And every gain divine
Oh beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears
America, America
G-d shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea
Oh beautiful for spacious skies
For amber waves of grain
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain
America, America
G-d shed His grace on thee
Till souls wax fair as earth and air
And music hearted sea
Oh beautiful for pilgrims feet
Whose stem impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness
America, America
G-d shed His grace on thee
Till paths be wrought through wilds of thought
By pilgrim foot and knee
Oh beautiful for glory tale of liberating strife
When once and twice for man’s avail
Men lavished precious life
America, America
G-d shed His grace on thee
Till selfish gain no longer stain
The banner of the free
Oh beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears
America, America
G-d shed His grace on thee
Till nobler men keep once again thy whiter jubilee
Oh beautiful for spacious skies
For amber waves of grain
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain
America, America
G-d shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea
