        PATRIARCHAL BLESSING
A precious gift that is given us from God above,
A pathway to follow through life in sweet love,
A guiding star, a compass correct, sure and true,
Your map to help you along Father has given you.

Read it often until every word of it is very clear,
Be worthy of the gift, tread forward free from fear,
One by one the blessing will surely come your way,
If through life true to the gospel you will always stay.

Go and learn what God has in store, if worthy you be,
Learn of your lineage, pray often on bended knee
That this your blessing you can, with God’s help, fulfil,
Your very own special blessing shows you God’s will.

Do not take it lightly, and if at first things don’t come,
We do not know when or how Father’s will is to be done.
Remember that life is long and eternal, never ever say,
This blessings cannot be mine, wait and watch and pray.
