Adam-ondi-Ahman

This really is a photo of Adam-ondi-Ahman in Daviess County, Missouri.

"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.

We read that Enoch walk[e]d with God,

Above the pow[e]r of Mammon:

While Zion spread herself abroad,

And saints and angels sung aloud

In Adam-ondi-Ahman.

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.

Hosanna to such days to come—

The Savior's second comin[g]—

When all the earth in glorious bloom,

Affords the saints a holy home

Like Adam-ondi-Ahman."
