"Moses built an altar, and called the name of it JEHOVAH-NISSI (Heb. THE LORD OUR BANNER)" (Exodus 17:15). "Thou hast given a banner to them that fear Thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth" (Psalm 60:4).
JEHOVAH-NISSI was assigned
The altar's name that Moses raised:
THE LORD OUR BANNER (so defined),
Recalled the place where God was praised.
How bold our banner is today
Declaring triumph over strife
Through Jesus Christ the only Way,
The only Truth, and only Life!
Our banner that is now unfurled
Displays the cross of Jesus Christ,
Proclaiming now to all the world
That He for us was sacrificed.
Our banner shows His victory
For sinners that He came to save,
It proves the truth that makes us free,
And robs all boasting from the grave.
Lord, help us to exalt Your name,
And raise the banner that You give,
To show the reason that You came,
And that we live, because You live.
