AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL

O BEAUTIFUL for spacious¹ skies, For amber² waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties³ Above the fruited plain！ America！ America！ God shed His grace on thee And crown thy good with brotherhood⁴ >From sea to shining sea！

O beautiful for pilgrim feet, Those stern, impassioned stress A thoroughfare for freedom beat Across the wilderness⁵！ America！ America！ God mend thine every flaw, Confirm thy soul in self-control, Thy liberty in law！

O beautiful for heroes proved In liberating⁶ strife⁷ Who more than self their country loved, And mercy more than life！ America！ America！ May God thy gold refine, Till all success be nobleness, And every gain divine.

O beautiful for patriot⁸ dream That sees beyond the years Thine alabaster⁹ 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！
