The Divine Image

To mercy, Pity, Peace, and Love

All pray in their distress;

And to these virtues of delight

Return their thankfulness.

For Mercy, Pity, Peace, and Love

Is God, our father dear,

And Mercy, Pity, Peace, and Love

Is Man, his child, and care.

For Mercy has a human heart,

Pity, a human face,

And Love, the human from divine,

And Peace, the human dress.

Then every man of every clime

That prays in his distress,

Prays to the human form divine,

Love, Mercy, Pity, Peace 

And all must love the human form,

In heathen, Turk or jew;

Where Mercy, Love, And Pity dwell

Ther God is dwelling too.
