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.
