Faith Of Our Signers P3

Oliver Wolcott stated, Through various scenes of life, God has sustained me. May He ever be my unfailing friend; may His love cherish my soul; may my heart and gratitude acknowledge His goodness (I Chronicles 16:34); and may my desires be to Him and to the remembrance of His name (Psalm 30:4) …May we then turn our eyes to the bright objects above (Colossians 3:2), and may God give us strength to travel the upward road.

May the Divine Redeemer conduct us to that seat of bliss which He himself has prepared (John 14:2)….It is most evident that this land is under the protection of the Almighty, and that we shall be saved not by our wisdom nor by our might (Zachariah 4:6), but by the Lord of Host Who is wonderful in counsel and Almighty in all His operations (Isaiah 9:6).
