SS1CG2 The student will explain the meaning of the
patriotic words to America (My Country ‘Tis of Thee)
and America the Beautiful.
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!
