Brother Albert, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by virtue of the Holy Priesthood, I seal upon you a father's and a patriarchal blessing, with the blessing of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and of the new and everlasting covenants with health and strength of mind and body, that you may live to the honor and glory of God, grow up to manhood under the influence of the Holy Spirit, the watch care of your parents and of the Holy Angels, that you may be full of faith and open charity and of the testimony of Jesus, preach the Gospel of the Son of God, and do a mighty work in the gathering of the House of Israel and the building up of the New Jerusalem. Honor and obey your parents, keep yourself pure and you shall live, gain the victory over sin, hell and the graves, go from one degree of knowledge to another, from faith to faith and from power to power, until you shall receive a fullness and become sanctified in the Lord, receive all your blessings, sealings and annointings, do a great work in the redemption of the dead and stand as a savior among your kindred. Thou art of Ephraim, of a noble spirit with a great mission upon your head, and heir to a fullness of the Holy Priesthood, to a numerous posterity, to crowns and Kingdoms to the Holy Resurrection and the Millenium. Call upon the Lord when you are young, exercise faith in his promises and you shall become a mighty man of God, have power over pestilences, sickness and death and to heal the sick, cast out evil spirits, and you shall be preserved and blessed in all your ministry here below, and I seal you up unto Eternal Life through your faithfulness in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
