    Song: America, America  (introduce subject pronoun "Thou", object pronouns "thee" , possessive pronouns "thy", "thine" )
     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 impassion'd stress
     A thoroughfare for freedom beat
     Across the wilderness.

     America! America!
     God mend thine ev'ry flaw,
     Confirm thy soul in self-control,
     Thy liberty in law.

     O beautiful for heroes prov'd
     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 gain 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.
