3. O Lord our Banner, God of Might. [In Time of War.] Miss Wordsworth wrote concerning this hymn: "To the best of my knowledge and belief, I wrote it in the winter of 1884-5, when the excitement about General Gordon was at its height. . The lines ‘Jehovah-Nissi' appeared in the Guardian of Jan. 21, 1885, feigned ‘Veritas.' This is our family motto, and as such was well known to my own famiiy circle" (Church Times, Nov. 17, 1899). The hymn was frequently printed as a leaflet, and entitled "Jehovah-Nissi. A hymn for our Soldiers." It was included in Church Hymns, 1903.
