"Know Then That Every Soul is

Free" (early 19th-century hymn)

Know then that every soul is free

To choose his life and what he’ll be;

For this eternal truth giv’n,

That God will force no man to heav’n.

He’ll draw, persuade, direct him right;

Bless him with wisdom, love and light;

In nameless ways be good and kind,

But never force the human mind.

--Elias Smith and Abner Jones, Hymns Original and Selected for

the Use of Christians (1805)
