+<span class='small-caps'>The</span> above may be used as symbolical of that glorious event in
+the future history of the church, when the marriage of the
+Lamb is come and the wife shall make herself ready. When
+she shall leave her wilderness state and return to Zion a glorious
+and a united church, there to enjoy fellowship with her
+Beloved. The chorus may symbolize the invitation given to
+the church, the Bride, by the friends of the Bridegroom; England,
+the wilderness, her present place of abode; and the Highlands,
+Zion or Jerusalem, literally surrounded with mountains
+and which mystically or spiritually shall be her future place of
+abode. The Queen of Britain, not only on account of the
+liberty which her subjects possess, but more especially the freedom
+which she hath given to her royal daughter, may symbolize
+those governments which have given freedom of worship
+and liberty of conscience to the followers of Christ, under them
+who have given their hearts to him as the Beloved of their
+souls. The Highlanders may symbolize the friends of the
+Bridegroom;&#8288;—their costume, a professed attachment to his
+cause, and their language the language of Canaan&#8288;—of Zion,
+which only his friends can understand. If it is a sham to
+appear in the Highlandman’s garb without his language, it is
+still a greater sham and disgrace to profess attachment to the
+Bridegroom without the reality, while unable either to speak or
+to understand the language of his friends. The Highland Clans
+may symbolize the various sects amongst Christians, which
+shall all become one, when the marriage of the Lamb is come,
+and the bon-fires&#8288;—those pure bright flames of Alleluias which
+shall ascend from all parts of the earth, and lighten it with
+their glories, on the great occasion.</p>
+<p class='fontp9'>
+“Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotant reigneth.”</p>
+<p class='fontp9'>
+Let us be glad, and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the
+marriage of the Lamb is come, and the wife hath made herself
+ready.</p>
