Oh beautiful for spacious skies for amber waves of grain For purple mountains majesties above the fruited plain A merica A merica God shed His grace on thee And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea Oh beautiful for pilgrim feet whose stern impassioned stress A thoroughfare for freedom beat across the wilder ness A merica A merica God mend thine every flaw Confirm thy soul in self control Thy liberty in law Oh beautilful for hero proved in liberating strife Who more than their country loved and mercy more than life A merica A merica May God thy gold re fine 'Till all success be nobleness and every gain divine Oh beautiful for patriot dream that sees beyond the years Thine alabaster cities gleam undimmed by human tears A merica A merica God shed His grace on thee And crown thy with brotherhood from sea to shining sea
