America The Beautiful
Public Domain

Oh 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
Till all success be nobleness
And every gain divined

Oh beautiful, for spacious skies
For amber waves of grain
For purple mountains majesty
Above the fruited plains

America, America
God shed his grace on thee
And crowned thy good
with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea
