In all our learning may we seek That wisdom from above Which comes to all: the brave, the meek, Who ask in faith and love. [ Verse 2 ] We praise Thee thro’ our bodies, Lord, Kept strong to do Thy will; Thy Spirit’s temples, which afford A means to praise Thee still. We give ourselves, a sacrifice, To live as unto Thee; For Thou alone hast paid the price To bring salvation free. [ Verse 3 ] We praise Thee in our hearts, O King, Kept pure to know Thy ways; And raise to Thee a hymn to sing Eternally Thy praise. Altho’ adoring hearts will bow As age on ages roll; We praise Thee in our beings now, Mind, body, heart, and soul.

[ Heading 7 ] A BIT ABOUT ONTARIO BIBLE COLLEGE AND ONTARIO THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY OBC and OTS are evangelical in theology and interdenominational in character. Our curriculums are Bible-centred. Each year, about 30 different Protestant denominations are represented in the student bodies of these schools. We present a Christian view of life amid the confusing ideologies of our times. OBC and OTS serve as the training arms for a wide variety of evangelical churches. Christian service in local churches and church- related ministries is a vital part of the College experience. OBC offers Bachelor’s degrees in Theology, Religious Education and Sacred Music. Vocational majors include Pastoral Studies, Missions, Chris- tian Education, Christian Education/Secretarial, Christian Education/Cam- ping, Applied Music, Church Music/Christian Education, Pre-University and Pre-Seminary studies. There is also a 3 Year Diploma in Bible, a 1 year Cer- tificate in Bible and a 1 year Certificate in Church Music. OTS offers a Master of Divinity degree, Master of Theological Studies and a 1 year Certificate in Biblical Studies. The major emphasis is on training for pastoral and missionary work with special interest in urban Christian ministries. OBC and OTS are at the forefront in meeting many specific needs in church- related vocational training. OBC is accredited by the American Association of Bible Colleges. [Page Six] Our College and Seminary are subsidized through the gracious giving of hundreds of Christian friends. For 1982 - 1983, we are trusting God to provide approximately $1560.00 in gift contributions for every one of the 510 students on our campus this year (total $792,588). Student fees cover slight- ly more than 60% of our costs, with the remainder contributed by our faithful and valued supporters. OBC has a large Evening School Division. Classes are held in Hamilton and Burlington as well as on the main campus in Willowdale. OTS has a growing Continuing Education Division. Classes are held on Monday afternoons and evenings. Also special “Inter-Sessions” and “Sum- mer Sessions” in January and June, respectively, provide further oppor- tunities for intensive studies.
