"America The Beautiful" lyrics

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 heroes proved in liberating strife
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life

America, America, may God thy gold refine
'Til all success be nobleness, and ev'ry gain divine!

O beautiful for patr'ot 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

O beautiful, this founding faith, the Rock on which we stand
With firm assurance we take hold of God's almighty hand

America, America, the love of God our light
Let mercy, grace and servanthood be ever shining bright

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

Shining sea
