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 devined.

Oh 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,
He crowned thy good in brotherhood,
From sea to shining sea.
