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’.
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.
