The Divine Image-- By- William Blake
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.
