Sister beloved of the Lord, in the name of Jesus of Nazareth, I place my hands upon thy head and seal upon you a fathers blessing, even all the blessings of the everlasting Priesthood which was sealed upon the children of Joseph in common with thy companion, giving you power to heal the sick in thine house and to drive the destroyer from thy habitation to preserve the lives of thy children. They will grow very healthy, become mighty in Israel and spread forth upon the mountains like Jacob and be saviors on Mount Zion. It is thy privilege to save thy father's house with the help of thy companion and friends and bring them up in the first resurrection back to the days of Noah and on to where they died in the Gospel that there shall not be a broken link in the chain from the days of righteous Abel to the dispensation of the fullness of times. Thou shalt be satisfied with one's portions and have all thy companion's blessings sealed upon him and I seal the same upon thee and upon thy children for ever and ever, 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. |
