Pray for America

America the Beautiful

Oh 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
‘Til all success be nobleness
And every gain divined
Oh beautiful, for spacious skies
For amber waves of grain
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain
America, sweet America
You know, God done shed his grace on thee
He crowned thy good, saving brotherhood
From sea to shining sea
America, I love you America
Because, My God done shed his grace on thee
And you oughta love him for it
‘Cause He crowned thy good
He told me he would, saving brotherhood
From sea to shining Sea
Oh Lord, oh Lord, I thank you Jesus
Shining sea
