Here's the entire song, complete with the NON-PC last line...
Words by Katharine Lee Bates
Melody by Samuel Ward
Oh 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
Oh beautiful, for pilgrim feet
Whose stern impassioned stress
A thoroughfare of freedom beat
Across the wilderness
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw
Confirm thy soul in self-control
Thy liberty in law
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 divine
Oh 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
Oh beautiful, for halcyon skies
For amber waves of grain
For purple mountain majesties
Above the enameled plain
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
'Til souls wax fair as earth and air
And music-hearted sea
Oh beautiful, for pilgrims feet
Whose stem impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
'Til paths be wrought through wilds of thought
By pilgrim foot and knee
Oh beautiful, for glory-tale
Of liberating strife
When once and twice for man's avail
Men lavished precious life
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
'Til selfish gain no longer stain
The banner of the free
Oh 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
'Til nobler men keep once again
Thy whiter jubilee

Oh 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.
Oh beautiful, for pilgrims' feet
Whose stern, impassioned 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!
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 ev'ry gain divine!
Oh beautiful, for patriot's 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!
