In the name of Jesus Christ I place my hands upon thy head and seal upon you a father's blessing, even all the blessings of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Thou art of the blood of Abraham and a lawful heir to the priesthood which shall be conferred upon you in due time. You shall have an inheritance in Zion with the children of Joseph, be a councilor in the House of Israel, be filled with wisdom and the Holy Ghost, be appointed to preach the gospel to many kindred, tongue, and people. At your rebuke the sea shall be still. You shall do any work that shall be necessary for the gathering of Israel. Your posterity shall be numerous and great in the priesthood. You shall live to see the winding up scene of wickedness, see and converse with your Redeemer, and inherit all the blessings of his kingdom with all your father's house. Even so, 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.
