D&C 109
a
Thanks
be
to
thy
name,
O
Lord
God
of
Israel,
who
keepest
b
covenant
and
showest
mercy
unto
thy
servants
who
walk
uprightly
before
thee,
with
all
their
hearts—
2 Thou
who
hast
commanded
thy
servants
to
a
build
a
house
to
thy
name
in
this
place
[Kirtland].
3 And
now
thou
beholdest,
O
Lord,
that
thy
servants
have
done
according
to
thy
commandment.
4 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
a
house,
the
b
workmanship
of
the
hands
of
us,
thy
servants,
which
thou
didst
command
us
to
build.
5 For
thou
knowest
that
we
have
done
this
work
through
great
tribulation;
and
out
of
our
poverty
we
have
a
given
of
our
substance
to
build
a
b
house
to
thy
name,
that
the
Son
of
Man
might
have
a
place
to
c
manifest
himself
to
his
people.
6 And
as
thou
hast
said
in
a
a
revelation,
given
to
us,
calling
us
thy
friends,
saying—Call
your
solemn
assembly,
as
I
have
commanded
you;
7 And
as
all
have
not
faith,
seek
ye
diligently
and
teach
one
another
words
of
wisdom;
yea,
seek
ye
out
of
the
best
a
books
words
of
wisdom,
seek
learning
even
by
study
and
also
by
faith;
8 Organize
yourselves;
a
prepare
every
needful
thing,
and
establish
a
house,
even
a
b
house
of
prayer,
a
house
of
fasting,
a
house
of
faith,
a
house
of
learning,
a
house
of
glory,
a
house
of
c
order,
a
d
house
of
God;
9 That
your
a
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
unto
the
Most
High—
10 And
now,
Holy
Father,
we
ask
thee
to
assist
us,
thy
people,
with
thy
grace,
in
calling
our
a
solemn
assembly,
that
it
may
be
done
to
thine
honor
and
to
thy
divine
acceptance;
11 And
in
a
manner
that
we
may
be
found
worthy,
in
thy
sight,
to
secure
a
fulfilment
of
the
a
promises
which
thou
hast
made
unto
us,
thy
people,
in
the
revelations
given
unto
us;
12 That
thy
a
glory
may
rest
down
upon
thy
people,
and
upon
this
thy
house,
which
we
now
dedicate
to
thee,
that
it
may
be
sanctified
and
consecrated
to
be
holy,
and
that
thy
holy
presence
may
be
continually
in
this
house;
13 And
that
all
people
who
shall
enter
upon
the
threshold
of
the
Lord's
house
may
feel
thy
power,
and
feel
constrained
to
acknowledge
that
thou
hast
sanctified
it,
and
that
it
is
thy
house,
a
a
place
of
thy
holiness.
14 And
do
thou
grant,
Holy
Father,
that
all
those
who
shall
worship
in
this
house
may
be
taught
words
of
wisdom
out
of
the
best
a
books,
and
that
they
may
seek
learning
even
by
study,
and
also
by
faith,
as
thou
hast
said;
15 And
that
they
may
grow
up
in
thee,
and
receive
a
fulness
of
the
Holy
Ghost,
and
be
organized
according
to
thy
laws,
and
be
prepared
to
obtain
every
needful
thing;
16 And
that
this
house
may
be
a
house
of
prayer,
a
house
of
fasting,
a
house
of
faith,
a
house
of
glory
and
of
God,
even
thy
house;
17 That
all
the
incomings
of
thy
people,
into
this
house,
may
be
in
the
name
of
the
Lord;
18 That
all
their
outgoings
from
this
house
may
be
in
the
name
of
the
Lord;
19 And
that
all
their
salutations
may
be
in
the
name
of
the
Lord,
with
holy
hands,
uplifted
to
the
Most
High;
20 And
that
no
a
unclean
thing
shall
be
permitted
to
come
into
thy
house
to
b
pollute
it;
21 And
when
thy
people
a
transgress,
any
of
them,
they
may
speedily
repent
and
return
unto
thee,
and
find
favor
in
thy
sight,
and
be
restored
to
the
blessings
which
thou
hast
ordained
to
be
poured
out
upon
those
who
shall
b
reverence
thee
in
thy
house.
22 And
we
ask
thee,
Holy
Father,
that
thy
servants
may
go
forth
from
this
house
armed
with
thy
power,
and
that
thy
a
name
may
be
upon
them,
and
thy
glory
be
round
about
them,
and
thine
b
angels
have
charge
over
them;
23 And
from
this
place
they
may
bear
exceedingly
great
and
glorious
tidings,
in
truth,
unto
the
a
ends
of
the
earth,
that
they
may
know
that
this
is
thy
work,
and
that
thou
hast
put
forth
thy
hand,
to
fulfil
that
which
thou
hast
spoken
by
the
mouths
of
the
prophets,
concerning
the
last
days.
24 We
ask
thee,
Holy
Father,
to
establish
the
people
that
shall
worship,
and
honorably
hold
a
name
and
standing
in
this
thy
house,
to
all
generations
and
for
eternity;
25 That
no
weapon
a
formed
against
them
shall
prosper;
that
he
who
diggeth
a
b
pit
for
them
shall
fall
into
the
same
himself;
26 That
no
combination
of
wickedness
shall
have
power
to
rise
up
and
a
prevail
over
thy
people
upon
whom
thy
b
name
shall
be
put
in
this
house;
27 And
if
any
people
shall
rise
against
this
people,
that
thine
anger
be
kindled
against
them;
28 And
if
they
shall
smite
this
people
thou
wilt
smite
them;
thou
wilt
a
fight
for
thy
people
as
thou
didst
in
the
day
of
battle,
that
they
may
be
delivered
from
the
hands
of
all
their
enemies.
29 We
ask
thee,
Holy
Father,
to
confound,
and
astonish,
and
to
bring
to
a
shame
and
confusion,
all
those
who
have
spread
b
lying
reports
abroad,
over
the
world,
against
thy
servant
or
servants,
if
they
will
not
repent,
when
the
everlasting
gospel
shall
be
proclaimed
in
their
ears;
30 And
that
all
their
works
may
be
brought
to
naught,
and
be
swept
away
by
the
a
hail,
and
by
the
judgments
which
thou
wilt
send
upon
them
in
thine
anger,
that
there
may
be
an
end
to
b
lyings
and
slanders
against
thy
people.
31 For
thou
knowest,
O
Lord,
that
thy
servants
have
been
innocent
before
thee
in
a
bearing
record
of
thy
name,
for
which
they
have
suffered
these
things.
32 Therefore
we
plead
before
thee
for
a
full
and
complete
a
deliverance
from
under
this
b
yoke;
33 Break
it
off,
O
Lord;
break
it
off
from
the
necks
of
thy
servants,
by
thy
power,
that
we
may
rise
up
in
the
midst
of
this
generation
and
do
thy
work.
34 O
Jehovah,
have
mercy
upon
this
people,
and
as
all
men
a
sin,
forgive
the
transgressions
of
thy
people,
and
let
them
be
blotted
out
forever.
35 Let
the
a
anointing
of
thy
ministers
be
sealed
upon
them
with
power
from
on
high.
36 Let
it
be
fulfilled
upon
them,
as
upon
those
on
the
day
of
Pentecost;
let
the
gift
of
a
tongues
be
poured
out
upon
thy
people,
even
b
cloven
tongues
as
of
fire,
and
the
interpretation
thereof.
37 And
let
thy
house
be
filled,
as
with
a
rushing
mighty
a
wind,
with
thy
b
glory.
38 Put
upon
thy
servants
the
a
testimony
of
the
covenant,
that
when
they
go
out
and
proclaim
thy
word
they
may
b
seal
up
the
law,
and
prepare
the
hearts
of
thy
saints
for
all
those
judgments
thou
art
about
to
send,
in
thy
wrath,
upon
the
inhabitants
of
the
c
earth,
because
of
their
transgressions,
that
thy
people
may
not
faint
in
the
day
of
trouble.
39 And
whatsoever
city
thy
servants
shall
enter,
and
the
people
of
that
city
a
receive
their
testimony,
let
thy
peace
and
thy
salvation
be
upon
that
city;
that
they
may
gather
out
of
that
city
the
righteous,
that
they
may
come
forth
to
b
Zion,
or
to
her
stakes,
the
places
of
thine
appointment,
with
songs
of
everlasting
joy;
40 And
until
this
be
accomplished,
let
not
thy
judgments
fall
upon
that
city.
41 And
whatsoever
city
thy
servants
shall
enter,
and
the
people
of
that
city
receive
not
the
testimony
of
thy
servants,
and
thy
servants
warn
them
to
save
themselves
from
this
untoward
generation,
let
it
be
upon
that
city
according
to
that
which
thou
hast
spoken
by
the
mouths
of
thy
prophets.
42 But
deliver
thou,
O
Jehovah,
we
beseech
thee,
thy
servants
from
their
hands,
and
a
cleanse
them
from
their
blood.
43 O
Lord,
we
delight
not
in
the
destruction
of
our
fellow
men;
their
a
souls
are
precious
before
thee;
44 But
thy
word
must
be
fulfilled.
Help
thy
servants
to
say,
with
thy
a
grace
assisting
them:
Thy
will
be
done,
O
Lord,
and
not
ours.
45 We
know
that
thou
hast
spoken
by
the
mouth
of
thy
prophets
terrible
things
concerning
the
a
wicked,
in
the
last
days—that
thou
wilt
pour
out
thy
judgments,
without
measure;
46 Therefore,
O
Lord,
deliver
thy
people
from
the
calamity
of
the
wicked;
enable
thy
servants
to
seal
up
the
law,
and
a
bind
up
the
testimony,
that
they
may
be
prepared
against
the
day
of
burning.
47 We
ask
thee,
Holy
Father,
to
remember
those
who
have
been
a
driven
by
the
inhabitants
of
Jackson
county,
Missouri,
from
the
lands
of
their
inheritance,
and
break
off,
O
Lord,
this
b
yoke
of
affliction
that
has
been
put
upon
them.
48 Thou
knowest,
O
Lord,
that
they
have
been
greatly
a
oppressed
and
afflicted
by
wicked
men;
and
our
b
hearts
flow
out
with
sorrow
because
of
their
grievous
c
burdens.
49 O
Lord,
a
how
long
wilt
thou
suffer
this
people
to
bear
this
affliction,
and
the
b
cries
of
their
innocent
ones
to
ascend
up
in
thine
ears,
and
their
c
blood
come
up
in
testimony
before
thee,
and
not
make
a
display
of
thy
testimony
in
their
behalf?
50 Have
a
mercy,
O
Lord,
upon
the
wicked
mob,
who
have
driven
thy
people,
that
they
may
cease
to
spoil,
that
they
may
repent
of
their
sins
if
repentance
is
to
be
found;
51 But
if
they
will
not,
make
bare
thine
arm,
O
Lord,
and
a
redeem
that
which
thou
didst
appoint
a
Zion
unto
thy
people.
52 And
if
it
cannot
be
otherwise,
that
the
cause
of
thy
people
may
not
fail
before
thee
may
thine
anger
be
kindled,
and
thine
a
indignation
fall
upon
them,
that
they
may
be
wasted
away,
both
root
and
branch,
from
under
heaven;
53 But
inasmuch
as
they
will
repent,
thou
art
a
gracious
and
merciful,
and
wilt
turn
away
thy
wrath
when
thou
lookest
upon
the
face
of
thine
Anointed.
54 Have
mercy,
O
Lord,
upon
all
the
a
nations
of
the
earth;
have
mercy
upon
the
rulers
of
our
land;
may
those
principles,
which
were
so
honorably
and
nobly
defended,
namely,
the
b
Constitution
of
our
land,
by
our
fathers,
be
established
forever.
55
a
Remember
the
kings,
the
princes,
the
nobles,
and
the
great
ones
of
the
earth,
and
all
people,
and
the
churches,
all
the
poor,
the
needy,
and
afflicted
ones
of
the
earth;
56 That
their
hearts
may
be
softened
when
thy
servants
shall
go
out
from
thy
house,
O
Jehovah,
to
bear
testimony
of
thy
name;
that
their
prejudices
may
give
way
before
the
a
truth,
and
thy
people
may
obtain
favor
in
the
sight
of
all;
57 That
all
the
ends
of
the
earth
may
know
that
we,
thy
servants,
have
a
heard
thy
voice,
and
that
thou
hast
sent
us;
58 That
from
among
all
these,
thy
servants,
the
sons
of
Jacob,
may
gather
out
the
righteous
to
build
a
holy
a
city
to
thy
name,
as
thou
hast
commanded
them.
59 We
ask
thee
to
appoint
unto
Zion
other
a
stakes
besides
this
one
which
thou
hast
appointed,
that
the
gathering
of
thy
b
people
may
roll
on
in
great
power
and
majesty,
that
thy
work
may
be
cut
c
short
in
righteousness.
60 Now
these
words,
O
Lord,
we
have
spoken
before
thee,
concerning
the
revelations
and
commandments
which
thou
hast
given
unto
us,
who
are
identified
with
the
a
Gentiles.
61 But
thou
knowest
that
thou
hast
a
great
love
for
the
children
of
Jacob,
who
have
been
a
scattered
upon
the
b
mountains
for
a
long
time,
in
a
c
cloudy
and
dark
day.
62 We
therefore
ask
thee
to
have
mercy
upon
the
children
of
Jacob,
that
a
Jerusalem,
from
this
hour,
may
begin
to
be
redeemed;
63 And
the
yoke
of
bondage
may
begin
to
be
broken
off
from
the
house
of
a
David;
64 And
the
children
of
a
Judah
may
begin
to
return
to
the
b
lands
which
thou
didst
give
to
Abraham,
their
father.
65 And
cause
that
the
a
remnants
of
Jacob,
who
have
been
cursed
and
smitten
because
of
their
transgression,
be
b
converted
from
their
wild
and
savage
condition
to
the
fulness
of
the
everlasting
gospel;
66 That
they
may
lay
down
their
weapons
of
bloodshed,
and
cease
their
rebellions.
67 And
may
all
the
scattered
remnants
of
a
Israel,
who
have
been
driven
to
the
ends
of
the
earth,
come
to
a
knowledge
of
the
truth,
believe
in
the
Messiah,
and
be
redeemed
from
b
oppression,
and
rejoice
before
thee.
68 O
Lord,
remember
thy
servant,
Joseph
Smith,
Jun.,
and
all
his
afflictions
and
persecutions—how
he
has
a
covenanted
with
b
Jehovah,
and
vowed
to
thee,
O
Mighty
God
of
Jacob—and
the
commandments
which
thou
hast
given
unto
him,
and
that
he
hath
sincerely
striven
to
do
thy
will.
69 Have
mercy,
O
Lord,
upon
his
a
wife
and
children,
that
they
may
be
exalted
in
thy
presence,
and
preserved
by
thy
fostering
hand.
70 Have
mercy
upon
all
their
a
immediate
connections,
that
their
prejudices
may
be
broken
up
and
swept
away
as
with
a
flood;
that
they
may
be
b
converted
and
redeemed
with
Israel,
and
know
that
thou
art
God.
71 Remember,
O
Lord,
the
presidents,
even
all
the
presidents
of
thy
church,
that
thy
right
hand
may
exalt
them,
with
all
their
families,
and
their
immediate
connections,
that
their
names
may
be
perpetuated
and
had
in
everlasting
remembrance
from
generation
to
generation.
72 Remember
all
thy
church,
O
Lord,
with
all
their
families,
and
all
their
immediate
connections,
with
all
their
sick
and
afflicted
ones,
with
all
the
poor
and
meek
of
the
earth;
that
the
a
kingdom,
which
thou
hast
set
up
without
hands,
may
become
a
great
mountain
and
fill
the
whole
earth;
73 That
thy
a
church
may
come
forth
out
of
the
wilderness
of
darkness,
and
shine
forth
fair
as
the
b
moon,
clear
as
the
sun,
and
terrible
as
an
army
with
banners;
74 And
be
adorned
as
a
bride
for
that
day
when
thou
shalt
unveil
the
heavens,
and
cause
the
mountains
to
a
flow
down
at
thy
presence,
and
the
b
valleys
to
be
exalted,
the
rough
places
made
smooth;
that
thy
glory
may
fill
the
earth;
75 That
when
the
trump
shall
sound
for
the
dead,
we
shall
be
a
caught
up
in
the
cloud
to
meet
thee,
that
we
may
ever
be
with
the
Lord;
76 That
our
garments
may
be
pure,
that
we
may
be
clothed
upon
with
a

and
reap
eternal
d
joy
for
all
our
e
sufferings.
77 O
Lord
God
Almighty,
hear
us
in
these
our
petitions,
and
answer
us
from
heaven,
thy
holy
habitation,
where
thou
sittest
enthroned,
with
a
glory,
honor,
power,
majesty,
might,
dominion,
truth,
justice,
judgment,
mercy,
and
an
infinity
of
fulness,
from
everlasting
to
everlasting.
78 O
hear,
O
hear,
O
hear
us,
O
Lord!
And
answer
these
petitions,
and
accept
the
a
dedication
of
this
house
unto
thee,
the
b
work
of
our
hands,
which
we
have
built
unto
thy
name;
79 And
also
this
church,
to
put
upon
it
thy
a
name.
And
help
us
by
the
power
of
thy
Spirit,
that
we
may
b
mingle
our
voices
with
those
bright,
shining
c
seraphs
around
thy
throne,
with
acclamations
of
d
praise,
singing
Hosanna
to
God
and
the
e
Lamb!
80 And
let
these,
thine
a
anointed
ones,
be
clothed
with
salvation,
and
thy
saints
b
shout
aloud
for
joy.
Amen,
and
Amen.
