Exodus 17:15-16a
“Moses built an altar and called it The Lord is my Banner.  He said, ‘For hands were lifted up to the throne of the Lord.’”

Isaiah 11:10
“In that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples; the nations will rally to him, and his place of rest will be glorious.”

Song of Songs 2:4
“He has taken me to the banquet hall, and his banner over me is love.”

Lord of all, your name is written across the vast expanse of the heavens.

You lead us boldly forward under the colours of your kingdom.  Unfurled by the breath of the Spirit, your banner covers us as a sign of your favour.

Raise high love’s ensign, and draw us to the victory banquet.  Unite all who hope in you under your outstretched hands.

All praise to you for the blood-red flag of Christ, to whom the nations rally for their glorious rest.
