America the Beautiful

Oh beautiful, for spacious skies

For amber waves of grain

For purple mountain majesties

Above the fruited plain

America, sweet America

God shed his grace on thee

And crowned thy good with brotherhood

From sea to shining sea

Oh beautiful for heroes proved

In liberating strife

Who more than self, their country loved

And mercy more than life

America, sweet America

God shed his grace on thee

And crowned thy good with brotherhood

From sea to shining sea
