Behold, when ye shall rend that veil of unbelief

which doth cause you to remain in your awful state of wickedness,

then shall the great and marvelous things

which have been hid up from the foundation of the world from you —

yea, when ye shall call upon the Father in my name,

with a broken heart and a contrite spirit,

then shall ye know that the Father hath remembered the covenant

which he made unto your fathers, O house of Israel.
