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!

2. O beautiful for pilgrim feet
Whose stem impassioned - stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God mend shine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul, In self-control,
Thy liberty in law!

3. O beautiful for heroes proved,
In liberating strife.
Who more than self the country loved,
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success, Be nobleness,
And every gain divine!

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 brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
