America the Beautiful

Oh 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
'Til all success be nobleness
And every gain divined
Oh beautiful, for spacious skies
For amber waves of grain
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain
I’m talking about
America, sweet America
God shed his grace on thee, oh yes, He did
He crowned thy good, yes, in brotherhood
From sea to shining sea
I said, from sea to shining sea
