In the Name of our God we will set up our banners by Healey Willan — Lyrics
In the Name of our God we will set up our banners.
Through God we will great acts,
and it is He that shall tread down our enemies.
Blessed are the people whose God is Jehovah,
and blessed are the folk that he hath chosen to him to be his inheritance.
The counsel of the Lord shall endure forever,

About In the Name of our God we will set up our banners
This powerful anthem, In the Name of our God we will set up our banners, is ideal for services of dedication, thanksgiving, or indeed any occasion where a strong affirmation of faith is desired. Healey Willan sets biblical text with a robust and martial character, beginning with a declaration of divine strength and victory. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonic support and dynamic contrast, building to a triumphant conclusion. The text, drawn from scripture, speaks of God's unwavering counsel and the blessing of His chosen people, culminating in a prayer for deliverance and praise for His power. It is a stirring call to remembrance and exaltation, well-suited for a capable choir.
