America the Beautiful

O beautiful for heroes proved

In liberating strife.

Who more than self the country loved

And mercy more than life!



America! sweet America!

May God thy gold refine

Till all success be nobleness

And every gain divine!



Oh 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



America, America,

God shed his grace on thee.

And crown thy good with brotherhood

from sea to shining sea!
