Divine Image

To Mercy, Pity, Peace, and Love,All pray in their distress,And to these virtues of delightReturn their thankfulness.

For Mercy, Pity, Peace, and Love,5Is God our Father dear;And Mercy, Pity, Peace, and Love,Is man, his child and care.

For Mercy has a human heartPity, a human face;10And Love, the human form divine;And Peace, the human dress.

Then every man, of every clime,That prays in his distress,Prays to the human form divine:15Love, Mercy, Pity, Peace.

And all must love the human form,In heathen, Turk, or Jew.Where Mercy, Love, and Pity dwell,There God is dwelling too.20
