Sister Caroline I lay my hands upon thy head in the name of Jesus of Nazareth, and seal and confirm on thee a father's blessing, thou art a daughter of Abraham and of the blood of Ephraim, and thou hast a right to the blessing and benefits of the priesthood in common with thy companion, and all the blessings which were sealed upon the daughters of Joseph I seal upon thee, thou shalt be a mother in Israel, and be endowed with power from on high in company with thy companion, and thou shalt raise up a posterity to keep thy name in remembrance, even a mighty people, and they shalt be held in high estimation among the saints and thou shall have power to heal the sick and to drive the destroyer from thy dwelling, and thou shalt be blest in thy house with health, peace and plenty shall dwell in thy borders, and no good thing shall be withheld from thee, and if thou art diligent in keeping the commandments of the Lord and are one with your companion without discord, thou shalt be saviors on Mt Zion, to save all that you desire to both of the dead and living, bring them up in the morning of the resurrection, and be exalted to reign over them in due time in the house of Israel forever, now sister be patient under all thy trials, never be hasty to give thy opinion upon matters that you understand not, and follow the counsel of the servants of the Lord, and these words shall not fail amen. |
Brother Hiram, in the name of Jesus Christ I lay my hands upon thy head to seal a father's blessing upon thee, because thy father is absent, nevertheless thou art entitled to a blessing under my hands. Thou art of the seed and lineage of Joseph, who was sold into Egypt, and an heir to the blessing and priesthood which was sealed upon his head under the hands of his father, which will enable thee to be a Savior on Mount Zion to save thy dead and living friends, and to bring them up in the resurrection of the just, and to reign over them to all eternity, also to push the scattered remnants of Jacob from the ends of the earth, and no power on earth shall stay thy hand, for the Lord has given his angels charge over thee. They will guard thee by night and day, defend thee from all dangers, and no enemy shall prevail against thee, and no bonds nor chains shall stay thy progress. Thou shalt converse with angels from time to time. This shall be thy comfort when thou art far away from thy friends. Thou shalt accomplish a great mission and bring thy thousands to Zion with their gold and silver and precious things to thine inheritance among thy brethren, and rest in peace with thy companion and a numerous posterity. The number of thy years shall be according to thy faith, even to see the winding up scene of this generation, to see Zion extended and peace established over the whole continent of America. Finally thou shalt have every desire of thy heart, and shall inherit glory, honor, immortality, and eternal life, and I also seal this blessing upon thy posterity forever. If thy faith fail not not one word of this blessing shall fail, for I seal it upon thee by the authority of the Holy Priesthood. Amen. |
