\nFor amber waves of grain,
\nFor purple mountain majesties
\nAbove the fruited plain!
\nAmerica! America!
\nGod shed His grace on thee<\/strong>
\n And crown thy good with brotherhood<\/strong>
\nFrom sea to shining sea!<\/p>\n
\nWhose stern, impassioned stress
\nA thoroughfare for freedom beat
\nAcross the wilderness!
\nAmerica! America!
\nGod mend thine every flaw,
\nConfirm thy soul in self-control,<\/strong>
\n Thy liberty in law!<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nIn liberating strife,
\nWho more than self their country loved<\/strong>
\n And mercy more than life!<\/strong>
\nAmerica! America!
\nMay God thy gold refine,
\nTill all success be nobleness,
\nAnd every gain divine!<\/p>\n
\n That sees beyond the years<\/strong>
\nThine alabaster cities gleam
\nUndimmed by human tears!
\nAmerica! America!
\nGod shed His grace on thee
\nAnd crown thy good with brotherhood
\nFrom sea to shining sea!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
