1. This earth was once a garden place,
With all her glories common
And men did live a holy race,
And worship Jesus face to face,
In Adam–ondi–ahman.
2. We read that Enoch walked with God,
Above the pow’r of mam mon
While Zion spread herself abroad,
And saints and angels sang a loud,
in Adam–ondi–ahman.
3. Her land was good and greatly blest,
Beyond all Israel’s Canaan
Her fame was known from east to west,
Her peace was great, and pure the rest
of Adam–ondi–ahman
of Adam–ondi–ahman.
4. Hosanna to such days to come,
The savior’s second coming,
When all the earth in glorious bloom
Affords the Saints a holy home,
Like Adam–ondi–ahman.
Like Adam–ondi–ahman
Hosanna to such days to come,
in Adam–ondi–ahman.
