Happy Birthday America!

America the Beautiful

 

O 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,

And crown thy good with brotherhood

From sea to shining sea.



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 every gain divine.



O beautiful for patriot dream

That sees, beyond the years,

Thine 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.

Thank-you. I haven't heard that song in a long time. Got goosebumps singing it to myself.
