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.
