I heard an Angel singingWhen the day was springing,"Mercy, Pity, PeaceIs the world's release."

To Mercy, Pity, Peace, and Love / All pray in their distress.

For Mercy has a human heart; Pity, a human face; Love, the human form divine; and Peace, the human dress.

Then cherish pity, lest you drive an angel from your door.

Where Mercy, Love, and Pity dwellThere God is dwelling too.

Where mercy, love, and pity dwell, there God is dwelling too.
