All Hail The Power [Verse 1] All hail the power of Jesus' name! Let angels prostrate fall; Bring forth the royal diadem, And crown Him Lord of all! [Verse 2] Ye Gentile sinners, ne'er [ never ] forget The wormwood and the gall; Go, spread your trophies at His feet And crown Him Lord of all! [Verse 3] Let every kindred, every tribe, On this terrestrial ball, To Him all majesty ascribe, And crown Him Lord of all! [Verse 4] Oh, that with yonder sacred throng We at His feet may fall; Join in the everlasting song. And crown Him Lord of all! [Heading 2.1.b] 2. The Son Of God Goes Forth [Verse 1] The Son of God goes forth to war, A kingly crown to gain; His blood-red banner streams afar, Who follows in His train? Who best can drink his cup of woe, Triumphant over pain; Who patient bears his cross below, He follows in His train. [Verse 2] A noble army — men and boys. The matron and the maid — Around the Saviour's throne rejoice, In robes of light arrayed. They climbed the steep ascent of heaven Through peril, toil, and pain! O God, to us may grace be given To follow in their train. [Heading 2.1.c] 3. Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah [Verse 1] Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah, Pilgrim through this barren land; I am weak, but Thou art mighty; Hold me with Thy powerful hand; Bread of heaven, Feed me till I want no more. [Verse 2] Open now the crystal fountain, Whence the healing waters flow; Let the fiery, cloudy pillar Lead me all my journey through: Strong Deliverer, Be Thou still my strength and shield. [Verse 3] When I tread the verge of Jordan, Bid my anxious fears subside; Bear me through the swelling current, Land me safe on Canaan's side: Songs of praises I will ever give to Thee!

To Our Friends and Visitors: The unique service you will witness this evening has been repeated year by year for more than half a century. Tonight 225 young men and women trained in the courses of Toronto Bible College will give radiant testimony to their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Many of the Graduating Class will be going out to join previous graduates in the work of the gospel in various parts of the world. Members of last year's Class who received their diplomas one year ago tonight are serving Christ in China, Brazil, Bolivia, Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, Nigeria, India, the North West Territories and in the Homeland. Graduates of Toronto Bible College are working under 56 Mission Boards and in 33 different countries. The training received by them was made possible by the voluntary gifts of Christian stewards. The College is not endowed nor supported by any one denomination, but looks in faith to the Lord for the supply of its needs through His people. You are earnestly invited to have a share in training young people at Toronto Bible College for Christ's service in all parts of the world. Rising costs and an expanding program of training call for increased income and additional supporters. A subscription form and addressed envelope are attached for your use, and also a form of cheque for the convenience of those who wish to use it. On behalf of the Board of Governors, G. G. RICHARDSON, Treasurer E. G. BAKER, President. [ PAGE FIVE ] [Heading 2.4] TORONTO BIBLE COLLEGE IS INTERDENOMINATIONAL Evangelical, Missionary and Co-Educational [Heading 2.4.1] BOARD OF GOVERNORS E.
