1.	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. 

2.	O beautiful for pilgrim feet, 
	Whose stern, impassioned stress 
	A thoroughfare for freedom beat 
	Across the wilderness! 
	America! America! 
	God mend thine ev'ry flaw, 
	Confirm thy soul in self control, 
	Thy liberty in law. 

3.	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, 
	Till all success be nobleness, 
	And ev'ry gain divine.
