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.

Beloved Brother, in the name of Jesus Christ I place my hands upon thy head and seal upon thee a patriarchal or father's blessing according to the order of the Church from everlasting. I seal upon thee all the blessings of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the blessings of the priesthood which was sealed upon the children of Joseph. I seal upon thee and thy posterity, for this is thy lineage, thou shalt be blessed with health in thy family and thy children shall multiply like Ephraim and be mighty in the priesthood, shall be able to seal blessings of the new and everlasting covenant upon the children of Jacob. Thou shalt enjoy peace in thy family. Thou shalt go forth to preach the gospel to many people. The Lamanites shall hear thy voice and they shall begin to believe thy word. Thou shalt gather thousands of the remnants of Jacob to the land of Zion. Thou shalt be able to rebuke the winds and the stormy winds, shall do any miracle that is necessary for the gathering of Israel. No power on Earth shall stay thine hand. Thou shalt see Israel gathered and Zion established in peace on the earth, have part in the first resurrection with all thy father's house, and inherit a kingdom that shall never pass away. Amen.
