Author: William Blake, 1757-1827 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #469 (1986) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 To Mercy, Pity, Peace, and Love,
All pray in their distress,
And to these virtues of delight
Return their thankfulness.
2 For Mercy, Pity, Peace, and Love,
Is God our Father dear;
And Mercy, Pity, Peace, and Love,
Is Man, his child and care.
3 For Mercy has a human heart,
Pity, a human face;
And Love, the human form divine,
And Peace, the human dress.
4 Then every man, of every clime,
That prays in his distress,
Prays to the human form divine:
