Representative lyrics

English (Original Language)

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 mammon,While Zion spread herself abroad,And Saints and angels sang aloud,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 restOf Adam-ondi-Ahman.

4. Hosanna to such days to come,The Savior’s second coming,When all the earth in glorious bloomAffords the Saints a holy home,Like Adam-ondi-Ahman.
