Additional Verses

O Beautiful for pilgrim feet,
whose stern impassioned stress
a thorough-fare for freedom beat
across the wilderness!
America! America!
God mend thine ev'ry flaw,
confirm thy soul
in self-control,
thy liberty in law!
3.
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 grace 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!
