Brother Washington, I lay my hands upon your head in the name of Jesus of Nazareth to place and seal a blessing upon you in the office of my calling touching upon your priesthood and the right you have unto that holy order, also upon your rights inherent and lineage manifesting a few of the more important points of your existence or future considerations. Behold I say unto you Washington your blessing is your inheritance and in the possessions of your fathers, and the honor of your name and in the sheaves the reward of your labours, although you shall be remembered in the mercy in your house and habitation and in the blessings of your posterity and in the priesthood to go down from generation to generation in which you have rights in the covenants made with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, your Fathers from whom begineth your reckoning in these last days passing through the loins of Levi, and you shall be blessed in your lineage and in the inheritance of you fathers, and in due time shall all these things be made known unto you and you shall be blessed in your testimony and in your goings forth, incomings and outgoings, and in the fullness of the covenant, and your name shall be perpetuated from generation to generation and written in the chronicles of your brethren, and your days and years shall be many upon the land and you shall be brought to stand in your place upon Mount Zion according to your appointment if your faith fail not. These blessings I seal upon your head. Even so, Amen. |
William, I lay my hands upon your head in the name of Jesus of Nazareth to bless you. Although it is in the days of your youth great shall be your blessings in consequence of the exercise of faith in the morning of your days. Therefore, I say unto you, William, if you will continue faithful as you have begun, you shall be a bright and shining light unto this generation and unto your Father's house which light shall shine in your house through which salvation shall be administered unto your posterity and to future generations. The same will commemorate your name and make it honorable from generation to generation. This blessing is before you and again I say unto you, William, you are of the lineage of Ephraim, and shall be blessed with the Priesthood and a Dispensation of the Gospel, and in due time you shall administer and officiate in your office and calling wherein you are and shall receive light; cleave unto the Lord with all your might and where to lay your head, and finally bring you to Your inheritance, and to your place and station in the end of your days, as also to perpetuate Your name in honor, which will go down in lineage with the blessings of the Priesthood unto the latest generation. And if your faith fail not, your days shall be continued unto the coming of the Son of Man. These Blessings I seal upon your head, even so, Amen. |
