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 every 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
brotherhood,
from sea to shining sea!
Verse 5
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!
Verse 6
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!
Verse 7
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!
Verse 8
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!
