Lyrics from A Collection of Sacred Hymns for the Use of the Latter Day Saints, 1844
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 saint and angels sung aloud
In Adam-ondi-Ahman.
3. Her land was good and greatly blest,
Beyond old Israel's Canaan:
Her fame was known from east to west,
Her peace was great, and pure the rest
Of Adam-ondi-Ahman.
4. Hosannah to such days to come -
The Savior's second coming -
While all the earth in glorious bloom,
Affords the saints a holy home
Like Adam-ondi-Ahman.

Hymn 240 8 7 8 8 7 1. This land was once a glorious place, With all its verdure common; And men did live a holy race, And worship Jesus face to face, In Aahdam-ondi-Ahman. 2. We read that Enoch walked with God, Above the power of Mammon; While Zion spread herself abroad, And saints and angels sung aloud In Aahdam-ondi-Ahman. 3. Her land was good and greatly blest, Above old Israel's Canaan; Her fame was known from east to west, Her peace was great, and pure the rest Of Aahdam-ondi-Ahman. 4. Hosanna to such days to come - The Saviour's second coming - When all the earth in glorious bloom, Affords the saints a holy home Like Aahdam-ondi-Ahman.
