to preserve & bless the Twelve And all the Elders of Israel who
go on foreign missions. And Bless the Presidency with the power
of God, & cause Zion to arise And put on her beautiful garments [Doctrine and Covenants 82:14]
I pray that the oppressions of Zion may scease that her inhabita-
nts may have power to build Houses & inhabit them plant
vineyards and eat the fruit thereof. I Pray that her land may
be like the Garden of the Lord that she may have the early &
latter rain that the Land may bring forth ofin her stregngth.
O, Lord order our cause aright which is before the Congress of
this Nation may all things work together for the good of thisy
Saints, preserve us all from evil of evry kind and help us to do
thy will in all things on the Earth. O Lord Hasten the gathering of
Israel, who are cast out And the dispersed of Judagh may the
Lamanites soon blossom like the rose. [Doctrine and Covenants 49:24] May the Zion of God who has risen
and gone up into the mountains be clothed upon with wrighteousness
And the power of God. May the Church become prepared like a
bride prepared for the coming of the Bridegoroom And myay they
people not ownly have cause to rejoice in the Holy oOne of Israel
during the AD 1850 But through all time And All eternity
