Sister Hannah, beloved of the Lord, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I place my hands upon thy head and seal upon thee a Patriarchal or father's blessing. Thou art a daughter of Abraham through the lineage of Joseph, and a lawful heir to all the blessings of the priesthood which was sealed upon the head of his children to its uttermost boundary of the everlasting hills. And Hannah as thou hast obeyed the gospel and left thy native land and thy father's house choosing rather to suffer opposition with the Lord's people than to enjoy the fullness and families of the gentiles, which thing is pleasing unto the Lord, and thy name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life. Thou shalt have the ministering of Angels that shall comfort thy heart when thy companion is absent. They shall bring tidings from him to thee when he is in a far country, and thou shalt be able to communicate with them as with thy friends. Thou shalt have faith to heal the sick in thy house and preserve thy children in life until they are old. They shall grow up about thy table like olive plants and thy table shall be well supplied with the best fruits of the earth. Thy store house shalt be well filled with every good thing, and thy companion shalt have flocks and herds, and thou shalt have servants and handmaidens that will delight to do thy will. Thy children shall increase. Thy daughters shall He expand in knowledge to any of the [?] that may dwell on the earth, for thou shalt have sons and daughters. The weakest of thy sons shall be [?]. Thou shalt be clothed with all the power of the priesthood in common with thy companion, for no good thing shall be withheld from thee, and thou shalt live, if you desire it, until a perfect heart, to see peace gathered and Zion redeemed and not a dog to move his tongue against the Saints. Thou shalt come forth in the first resurrection with thy companion and all thy father's house to inherit a kingdom that shalt never pass away. Even so. Amen.
