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 heroes proved In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved,
And mercy more than life!
America! America! God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
(refrein)
America! America! God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
