[ hymn title ]
Glorious Things of Thee are Spoken

[ verse 1 ]
Glorious things of thee are spoken,
Zion, city of our God;
He whose word cannot be broken
formed thee for his own abode;
on the Rock of Ages founded,
what can shake thy sure repose?
With salvation’s walls surrounded,
Thou mayst smile at all thy foes.

[ verse 2 ]
See the streams of living waters,
springing from eternal love,
well supply thy sons and daughters
and all fear of want remove.
Who can faint, while such a river
ever will their thirst assuage?
Grace which, like the Lord, the Giver,
never fails from age to age.

[ verse 3 ]
Round each habitation hovering,
see the cloud and fire appear
for a glory and a covering,
showing that the Lord is near.
Thus deriving from their banner
light by night, and shade by day;
safe they feed upon the manna
which He gives them when they pray.

[ verse 4 ]
Savior, if of Zion’s city,
I through grace a member am,
let the world deride or pity,
I will glory in Thy Name.
Fading is the world’s best pleasure,
all its boasted pomp and show;
solid joys and lasting treasure
none but Zion’s children know.

Great is Thy Faithfulness

[ verse 1 ]
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changes! not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.

Chorus
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

[ verse 2 ]
Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.

[ verse 3 ]
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth
Thy own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

[ hymn title ]
Imortal, Invisible, God Only Wise

[ verse 1 ]
Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
Almighty, victorious, Thy great name we praise.

[ verse 2 ]
Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,
Nor wanting, nor wasting, Thou rulest in might;
Thy justice, like mountains, high soaring above
Thy clouds, which are fountains of goodness and love.

[ verse 3 ]
To all, life Thou givest, to both great and small;
In all life Thou livest, the true life of all;
We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree,
And wither and perish but naught changeth Thee.

[ verse 4 ]
Great Father of glory, pure Father of light,
Thine angels adore Thee, all veiling their sight;
All praise we would render, O help us to see
’Tis only the splendor of light hideth Thee.

About Tyndale

[ Heading 11.1 ]
The History

Tyndale University College & Seminary was founded in 1894 as the
Toronto Bible Training School. Later known as Toronto Bible College,
it merged with the London College of Bible and Missions in 1968 to
become Ontario Bible College. The Seminary was established in 1976
to offer graduate theological education. In 1998, the name Tyndale was
assumed, honouring William Tyndale (1494-1536), the early English
reformer whose commitment to making Scripture available to all persons
led him to undertake the first English translation of the Bible. He is a
model for scholarship, faith, and vision. In 2003, Tyndale was accorded
university college status by the Province of Ontario. In 2007, Tyndale
received approval from the Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and
Universities and from the Ontario College of Teachers to offer a Bachelor
of Education program. The Seminary’s graduate degrees are accredited by
The Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada
(ATS). In 2007, Tyndale purchased a new campus at the Sisters of St.
Joseph, Morrow Park. Tyndale is an evangelical, transdenominational
school with over 1,200 students and more than 9,000 alumni.

[ Heading 11.2 ]
The Crest

The centre piece of the crest for Tyndale University College & Seminary
is a lantern, symbolic of Psalm 119:105: Your word is a lamp to my feet and
a light for my path. Below the lantern is the Greek motto douloi Christou
(servants of Christ) declaring the vision of the school for all students,
faculty, staff, and alumni to serve the Church and the world for the glory
of God. Incorporated in the crest are the school colours: blue, burgundy
and yellow.

[ Heading 11.3 ]
The Mission

Tyndale is dedicated to the pursuit of truth,
to excellence in teaching, learning and research,
for the enriching of mind, heart and character,
to serve the church and the world for the glory of God.

During the service, please turn off all electronic devices and keep aisles clear.
