The motto of Glasgow is ‘Let Glasgow flourish’. It is the abbreviated version of the prayer inscribed on the bell of the Tron Kirk which is ‘Let Glasgow flourish by the preaching of the word and the praising of His name’.
Richard Buckley
The heart of the prayer is the name of Jesus, and we flourish as we sing His praises and proclaim, or hear proclaimed, His word out of the Bible. This seems so ordinary and lacking excitement that our society has substituted for it trivial entertainment.
