John A. Clark, In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I place my hand upon your head to seal upon you a patriarchal blessing, an ordinance of the holy priesthood to place and seal blessings upon the sons of Abraham whose lineage has continued through the loins of Ephraim and has been brought forth in this dispensation for the gathering in of his seed from every nation to be made partakers of the blessings of the holy priesthood and all those who have been born under the new and everlasting covenant and that they might be made partakers of all the blessings of Abraham to inherit the earth and to have an inheritance given unto them when it shall be sanctified and cleansed from all the wickedness that now rests upon it and causes groanings in the earth and mourning upon it these blessings you are entitled to by birth and you will enjoy the blessings of the earth and your name will be remembered through your posterity from generation to generation and numbered amongst those that will inherit the earth, and your name will be remembered by those that will follow after you and you will have an inheritance given you, have your children for a possession to come forth in the morning of the first resurrection and have a place in Zion, the holy city and your works to continue. All these blessings I place and seal upon your head in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ-even so.

Amen
