To Mercy, Pity, Peace, and Love
All pray in their distress;
And to these virtues of delight
Return their thankfulness.
For Mercy, Pity, Peace, and Love
Is God, our Father dear,
And Mercy, Pity, Peace, and Love
Is man, His child and care.
For Mercy has a human heart,
Pity a human face,
And Love, the human form divine,
And Peace, the human dress.
Then every man, of every clime,
That prays in his distress,
Prays to the human form divine,
Love, Mercy, Pity, Peace.
And all must love the human form,
In heathen, Turk, or Jew;
Where Mercy, Love, and Pity dwell
There God is dwelling too.
По образу и подобию
Перевод В. Топорова
Добро, Смиренье, Мир, Любовь —
Вот перечень щедрот,
Которых каждый человек,
Моля и плача, ждет.
Добро, Смиренье, Мир, Любовь
Познал в себе Творец,
Добро, Смиренье, Мир, Любовь
Вложил в детей Отец.
И наше сердце у Добра,
И наш — Смиренья взгляд,
И в нашем образе — Любовь,
Мир — наш нательный плат.
