Experience the divine serenity of our newest organ prelude sheet music release, "Adam Ondi Ahman." This exquisite piece is inspired by the revered Latter-day Saint hymn, "Adam Ondi-Ahman," which eloquently captures the essence of a time when the earth was a paradisiacal garden, and humanity lived in holiness, worshipping Jesus Christ face to face.
The hymn's text paints a vivid picture of this sacred era:
"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 walked with God,
Above the pow'r of mammon,
While Zion spread herself abroad,
And Saints and angels sang 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 coming,
When all the earth in glorious bloom
Affords the Saints a holy home,
Like Adam-ondi-Ahman."
In addition to the poetic text, this prelude is deeply rooted in the scriptural texts of Doctrine and Covenants 116:1 and Doctrine and Covenants 107:5357. These scriptures provide a spiritual foundation that enriches the music, making it not only a beautiful piece to play but also a profound spiritual experience.
