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 form 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, There God is dwelling too.
