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 stressA thoroughfare for freedom beatAcross the wilderness! America! America! God mend thine every flaw, Confirm thy soul in self-control, Thy liberty in law. O beautiful for heroes provedIn 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 divine. O beautiful for patriot dreamThat sees beyond the yearsThine alabaster cities gleam, Undimmed by human tears! America! America! God shed His grace on thee, And crown thy good with brotherhood, From sea to shining sea.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
