| In ancient days when Eden bloomed | B |
| And life was cleanly pure and fair | C |
| The serpent sly with tongue perfumed | B |
| Deceived with subtle lure and snare | C |
| - | |
| For God had warned of fruit to shun | D |
| A tree desired of knowledge dire | E |
| But Satan's words like honey spun | D |
| Lit Adam's lustful mortal fire | F |
| - | |
| So took disobedience its hold | G |
| And quickly sin came rushing in | H |
| As man with pride and greed untold | G |
| Embraced so vile a forbidden sin | H |
| - | |
| So let us now from Adam's fate | I |
| Give heed to our creator's voice | J |
| Lest we like him succumb to hate | I |
| And make the gravest wrong our choice | J |
| - | |
| As worldly lusts engender pride | K |
| And man's angsty desires aspire | E |
| We preach our own gospel aside | K |
| From our Christ's divine inspire | E |
| - | |
| For truthless gains we exploit the flock | L |
| Whom we should feed with loving care | C |
| As Ezekiel's words like a shock | L |
| Remind us to indeed beware | C |

| Let us turn from this path of shame | M |
| And seek the gospel's righteous way | N |
| For in obedience lies the fame | M |
| That shines with all heavenly ray | N |
