Need 'America, The beautiful' lyrics.

performed by such artists as Whitney Houston and Ray Charles.

goes something like:
Oh, beautiful, for spacious? skies
God shed his grace on thee
He crowned (..??..) any brotherhood
From sea to shining sea

America, America
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be noblest
And every gain devine

I know these lyrics are sketchy... Could someone please email me the
complete lyrics?

AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL
- words by Katharine Lee Bates, music by Samuel A. 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 for 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
Till 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
