Verse 1
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
Verse 2
O beautiful for pilgrim feet whose stern impassioned stress
A thoroughfare of freedom beat across the wilderness
America, America, God mend thine every flaw
Confirm thy soul in self-control, thy liberty in law
Verse 3
O beautiful for heroes proved 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
Verse 4
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 brother hood from sea to shining sea
