By Barbra Streisand. By Katherine Lee Bates, Samuel A. Ward. Arranged by Timothy Stapay. Film/TV,Historic,Holiday,Patriotic,Singer/Songwriter. Score. 4 pages. Timothy Stapay #848195. Published by Timothy Stapay (A0.1254594).

This is an arrangement of America The Beautiful, written for upper intermediate level piano.  It contains an introduction using Battle Hymn Of The Republic.

America the Beautiful is a patriotic American song. Its lyrics were written by Katharine Lee Bates and its music was composed by church organist and choirmaster Samuel A. Ward at Grace Episcopal Church in Newark, New Jersey. The two never met.

In 1893, at the age of 33, Bates, an English professor at Wellesley College, had taken a train trip to Colorado Springs, Colorado, to teach at Colorado College. Several of the sights on her trip inspired her, and they found their way into her poem.

Lyrics:

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 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!

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 every 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!

O 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
Till souls wax fair as earth and air
And music-hearted sea!

O beautiful for pilgrims feet
Whose stem impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till paths be wrought through
Wilds of thought
By pilgrim foot and knee!

 
O 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
Till selfish gain no longer stain
The banner of the free!

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
Till nobler men keep once again
Thy whiter jubilee!

America the Beautiful
♫ with Declaration original song by Stephen R Dalrymple
♫ Original piano arrangement by Stephen R Dalrymple
♫ Based on the public domain song by Katherine Lee Bates (lyrics 1895) and Samuel A Ward (music 1883) and Declaration (original song by Stephen R Dalrymple 1999)
♫ This is my favorite patriotic song. It not only points to the glories of our nation but reminds us of the soldiers, heroes, and pilgrims who sacrificed and persevered to create and protect our nation. I have paired it with my original song Declaration which is the text from the opening of Declaration of Independence. It also has quotations of taps, The Marine’s Hymn, and The Star Spangled Banner.
