The Divine ImageTo Mercy, Pity, Peace, and LoveAll pray in their distress;And to these virtues of delightReturn their thankfulnessFor Mercy, Pity, Peace, and LoveIs God, our Father dear,And Mercy, Pity, Peace, and LoveIs 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 dwellThere God is dwelling too.William Blake - da Songs of Innocence, 1789-94
