Written by: Katharine Lee Bates in 1895 performed here by Alan Jackson
Oh, beautiful for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain! For purple mountain majesty, 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 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.
And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea.
