~~ The Law of Consecration ~~
PETER:
A couple will now come to the altar. We are instructed to give unto you the Law of
Consecration as contained in the book of Doctrine and Covenants, in connection with the
Law of the Gospel and the Law of Sacrifice which you have already received. It is that you
do consecrate yourselves, your time, talents, and everything with which the Lord has
blessed you, or with which he may bless you, to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints, for the building up of the Kingdom of God on the earth and for the establishment
of Zion.
All arise. Each of you bring your right arm to the square. You and each of you covenant
and promise before God, angels, and these witnesses at this altar, that you do accept the
Law of Consecration as contained in the Doctrine and Covenants, in that you do consecrate
yourselves, your time, talents, and everything with which the Lord has blessed you, or
with which he may bless you, to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, for the
building up of the Kingdom of God on the earth and for the establishment of Zion.
Each of you bow your head and say "yes."
PATRONS:
Yes.
PETER:
That will do.
