Lyrics
America the Beautiful
- Listen [ Real Audio | Mp3 ]
- Read [ Hymn Details | Sheet Music ]
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 pilgrim feet
Whose stern, impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self control,
Thy liberty in law!
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 every gain
divine.
O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine
alabaster cities gleam,
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God
mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self control,
Thy liberty in
law.
