America the Beautiful Lyrics

O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife
Who more than self our country loved
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
'Til all success be nobleness
And every gain divine!

O beautiful for spacious skies
For amber waves of grain
For purple mountain's majesty
Above the fruited plain! (now wait a minute)
America! Mmm I love you, America!
God shed his grace on thee
He crowned thy good with a brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

America! I love you, America! (I love you, America)
God shed his grace on thee
He crowned thy good with a brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
Shining sea
