Let us be realistic, if you want to make a hymn about the two trees in the garden you are not going to fit "tree of knowledge of good and evil" into any song. So bad song, poor writer, but doesn't prove anything concerning WL's teaching. Second, WL was emphasizing that this was "the tree of knowledge of good and evil" instead of "the apple" which was how it was misrepresented prior to WL.
