[Patriarchal Blessings] Cyrene Dustin. (Given by Joseph Smith, Sen.)

... it is thy privilege to behold the heavens opened on they head be faithful and thy tongue shall be loosed thou shalt sing the songs of Zion and speak in tongues and have the interpretation thereof thou shalt prophecy and see visions ... Angles shall minister unto thee ere long and thou shalt see them and hear them sing ... thou Shalt behold Zion built up a holy city see the great gathering of the saints and the glory of God appear yea and thy fingers even the fingers which thou now hast on thy hands shall be engaged in sewing the veils of the great Temple which is to be built in Zion in this generation ...
