To Mercy, Pity, Peace, and Love <br /> All pray in their distress; <br /> And to these virtues of delight <br /> Return their thankfulness. <br /> <br /> For Mercy, Pity, Peace, and Love <br /> Is God, our father dear, <br /> And Mercy, Pity, Peace, and Love <br /> Is Man, his child and care. <br /> <br /> For Mercy has a human heart, <br /> Pity a human face, <br /> And Love, the human form divine, <br /> And Peace, the human dress. <br /> <br /> Then every man, of every clime, <br /> That prays in his distress, <br /> Prays to the human form divine, <br /> Love, Mercy, Pity, Peace. <br /> <br /> And all must love the human form, <br /> In heathen, Turk, or Jew; <br /> Where Mercy, Love, and Pity dwell <br /> There God is dwelling too.<br /><br />William Blake<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-divine-image/
