Text of the Poem | The Divine Image of William Blake | Eureka Study Aids

1. To Mercy, Pity, Peace, and Love

2. All pray in their distress; 

3. And to these virtues of delight

4. Return their thankfulness. 

5. For Mercy, Pity, Peace, and Love

6. Is God, our father dear, 

7. And Mercy, Pity, Peace, and Love

8. Is Man, his child and care. 

9. Fo Mercy has a human heart, 

10. Pity a human face, 

11. And Love, the human form divine, 

12. And Peace, the human dress. 

13. Then every man, of every clime, 

14. That prays in his distress, 

15. Prays to the human form divine, 

16. Love, Mercy, Pity, Peace. 

17. And all must love the human form, 

18. In heathen, Turk, or Jew; 

19. Where Mercy, Love, and Pity dwell

20. There God is dwelling too.
