America the Beautiful Lyrics: O beautiful for spacious skies / For amber waves of grain / For purple mountain majesties / Above the fruited plain! / America! America!

America! America! God mend thine ev'ry 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 ev'ry gain divine. O beautiful for patriot dream
