    To Mercy, Pity, Peace, and Love

    All pray in their distress;

    And to these virtues of delight

    Return their thankfulness.

    To 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.
