Exhortation given at close of an address delivered in April 1794 in connection with the Society in Scotland for Propagating Religious Knowledge in the Highlands and Islands.
‘One thing remains. Let all the sincere lovers of Jesus Christ unite in giving Him glory: Immanuel, God in our nature! Wonderful Saviour! Thee we adore, One with the Father and the Spirit in the Divine Essence, and in the counsel of salvation; Thee we acknowledge the Purchaser, the Bestower of every spiritual blessing; to Thee we ascribe the honour, and commit the success, of every disposition and endeavour to do good; to Thee we humbly devote our spirits and our bodies; to the unclouded sight of Thy glory we aspire; in the bosom of Thy immediate Presence may we dwell for ever; and partake, with Thy redeemed multitudes, in all the burning raptures of Thine immortal love. Amen and Amen.’
