Following is the text to the prayer offered by Elder Gary E. Stevenson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles to dedicate the Elko Nevada Temple on Sunday, Oct. 12.

O God, our Eternal Father, we come before Thee with bowed heads as a token our humility and pray in the name of Thy beloved Son, Jesus Christ. We are assembled today to dedicate this, Thy holy house, the Elko Nevada Temple, unto Thee for its sacred purposes.

Our hearts are full of gratitude for this, Thy holy house, on this historic day of its dedication in this remote part of Thy vineyard. We are most grateful for the resources with which we have been blessed, deriving from the sacrifice of Latter-day Saints everywhere, of their sacred tithes, allowing the construction of this house of the Lord.
