O beautiful for spacious skies For amber waves of grains For purple mountains majesties Above thy 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 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 America!
