Hymn 160 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: A BCDC EAEA FGFG HHIJ

Custom in sinA
-
Let the wild leopards of the woodB
Put off the spots that nature givesC
Then may the wicked turn to GodD
And change their tempers and their livesC
-
As well might Ethiopian slavesE
Wash out the darkness of their skinA
The deed as well might leave their gravesE
As old transgressors cease to sinA
-
Where vice has held its empire longF
'Twill not endure the least controlG
None but a power divinely strongF
Can turn the current of the soulG
-
Great God I own thy power divineH
That works to change this heart of mineH
I would be formed anew and blessI
The wonders of creating graceJ

Isaac Watts
