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!
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!
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
every gain divine!
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!
O
beautiful for halcyon skies,
For
amber waves of grain,
For
purple mountain majesties
Above
the enameled plain!
America!
America!
God
shed his grace on thee
Till
souls wax fair as earth and air
And
music-hearted sea!
O
beautiful for pilgrims feet,
Whose
stem impassioned stress
A
thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across
the wilderness!
America!
America!
God
shed his grace on thee
Till
paths be wrought through
wilds
of thought
By
pilgrim foot and knee!
O
beautiful for glory-tale
Of
liberating strife
When
once and twice,
for
man's avail
Men
lavished precious life!
America!
America!
God
shed his grace on thee
Till
selfish gain no longer stain
The
banner of the free!
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
Till
nobler men keep once again
Thy
whiter jubilee!
