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 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!
|
|
America, America, God shed his grace on thee
|
And crown thy good with brotherhood
|
From sea to shining sea.
|
And crown thy good with brotherhood
|
From sea to shining sea.
