When Adam Was Created 1. When Adam was created, he dwelt in Eden's shade; As Moses has related, before a bride was made. Ten thousand times ten thousand, of creatures swarm'd around, Before a bride was formed, or any mate was found. 2. He had not consolation, but seem'd as one alone, Till, to his admiration, he found he'd lost a bone. Great was his exultation, to see her by his side; Great was his elevation to have a loving bride. 3. This woman she was taken from near to Adam's heart, By which we are directed that they should never part. This woman was not taken from Adam's head we know; And she must not rule o'er him, it's evidently so. 4. This woman she was taken from under Adam's arm; And she must be protected from injury and harm. This woman was not taken from Adam's feet we see; She must not be mistreated, the meaning seems to be. 5. The husband is commanded to love his loving bride; And live as does a Christian, and for his house provide. The woman is commanded her husband to obey, In everything that's lawful, until her dying day. 6. The book that's called the Bible, be sure you don't neglect; In every sense of duty, It will you both direct. It has the pattern, and the way, to build the house of love; It fits you for reunion with the family above.
