702. In Eden-sad indeed that day-

Author: William Williams 1717-91

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.

2. 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.
