"Thanks be to thy name, O Lord God of Israel, who keepest covenant
and showest mercy unto thy servants who walk uprightly before thee,
with all their hearts; thou who hast commanded thy servants to
build a house to thy name in this place. And now thou beholdest, O
Lord, that thy servants have done according to thy commandment. And
now we ask thee, Holy Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, the son
of thy bosom, in whose name alone salvation can be administered to
the children of men, we ask thee, O Lord, to accept of this house,
the workmanship of the hands of us, thy servants, which thou didst
command us to build; for thou knowest that we have done this work
through great tribulation; and out of our poverty we have given of
our substance, to build a house to thy name, that the Son of Man
might have a place to manifest himself to his people. And as thou
hast said in a revelation, given to us, calling us thy friends,
saying, 'call your solemn assembly, as I have commanded you; and
as all have not faith, seek ye diligently, and teach one another
words of wisdom; yea, seek ye out of the best books, words of
wisdom; seek learning even by study, and also by faith. Organize
yourselves; prepare every needful thing, and establish a house,
even a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a
house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of
God. That your incomings may be in the name of the Lord, that your
outgoings may be in the name of the Lord, that all your salutations
may be in the name of the Lord, with uplifted hands to the Most
High.'
