The power of the Gospel to change hearts is reflected in the use of Tresalem or “In Eden Sad Indeed That Day” by William Williams Pantycellyn as the tune moves from minor to major—from the loss of blessings in Eden to the crown that was won for us on Calvary such that our life “shall all be praise.”
In Eden – sad indeed that day-
My countless blessings fled away,
My crown fell in disgrace.
But on victorious Calvary
That crown was won again for me –
My life shall all be praise!
My life shall all be praise.
Faith, see the place, and see the tree
Where heaven’s Prince, instead of me,
Was nailed to bear my shame.
Bruised was the dragon by the Son,
Though two had wounds, there conquered One –
And Jesus was His name!
And Jesus was His name.
