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. 2 [ Page 3 of 12 ] [ 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.

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.
