William Blake (17571827)55. The Divine Image
T
All pray in their distress;
And to these virtues of delight
Return their thankfulness.
Is God, our Father dear,
And Mercy, Pity, Peace, and Love
Is man, His child and care.
Pity a human face,
And Love, the human form divine,
And Peace, the human dress.
That prays in his distress,
Prays to the human form divine,
Love, Mercy, Pity, Peace.
In heathen, Turk, or Jew;
Where Mercy, Love, and Pity dwell
There God is dwelling too.
