Let the wild Leopards of the Wood

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.CLX (1766) Lyrics: 2 Let the wild Leopards of the Wood Put off the Spots that Nature gives, Then may the wicked turn to God, And change their Temper and their Lives. 2 As well might Ethiopian Slaves Wash out the Darkness of their Skin; The Dead as well might leave their Graves, As old Transgressors cease to sin. 3 Where Vice has held its Empire long, 'Twill not endure the least Control; None but a Pow'r divinely strong Can turn the Current of the Soul. 4 Great God, I own thy Pow'r divine That works to change this Heart of mine; I would be form'd anew, and bless The Wonders of creating Grace.
