Religious Toleration ought to be defended by Our Rulers

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 50 hymnals Topics: Special Occasions Public and National Blessings and Afflictions First Line: Absurd and vain attempt! to bind Lyrics: 1 Absurd and vain attempt! to bind With iron chains the free-born mind, To force conviction, and reclaim The wand'ring by destructive flame. 2 Bold arrogance! to snatch from heaven Dominion not to mortals given; O'er conscience to usurp the throne, Accountable to God alone. 3 Jesus! thy gentle law of love Does no such cruelties approve; Mild as thy self, thy doctrine wields No arms but what persuasion yields. 4 By proofs divine, and reason strong, It draws the willing soul along; And conquests to thy church acquires By eloquence which heaven inspires. 5 O happy, who are thus compell'd To the rich feast, by Jesus held! May we this blessing know, and prize The light which liberty supplies.
