"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, [1] though the two never met. [2] Bates wrote the words as a poem, originally titled "Pikes Peak".
