Elvis Presley - America the Beautiful lyrics

Album: America the Beautiful <single> (2001)

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 pilgrim feet
Whose stern impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!

America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!

O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife.
Who more than self the country loved
And mercy more than life!

America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Until all success be nobleness
And every gain divine!

O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the yeahrs
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!

O beautiful for halcyon skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the enameled plain!

America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Until souls wax fair as earth & air
And music-hearted sea!

O beautiful for pilgrims feet,
Whose stem impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!

America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Until paths be wrought through
wilds of thought
By pilgrim foot & knee!

O beautiful for glory-tale
Of liberating strife
When once & twice,
for man´s avail
Men lavished precious life!

America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Until selfish gain no longer stain
The banner of the free!

O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the yeahrs
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!

America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Until nobler men keep once again
Thy whiter jubilee!
