Join All the Glorious Names [Verse 1] Join all the glorious names, Of wisdom, love, and power, That ever mortals knew, That angels ever bore; All are too mean to speak His worth, Too mean to set my Saviour forth. [Verse 2] Jesus, my great High Priest, Offered His blood and died; My guilty conscience seeks No sacrifice beside: His powerful blood did once atone, And now it pleads before the throne. [Verse 3] My Saviour and my Lord, My Conqueror and my King! Thy sceptre and Thy sword Thy reigning grace, I sing: Thine is the power; behold, I sit In willing bonds beneath Thy feet. [Heading 2.1.b] 2. 4 Mighty Fortress Is Our God [Verse 1] A Mighty fortress is our God, A bulwark never failing: Our Helper, He, amid the flood Of mortal ills prevailing. For still our ancient foe Doth seek to work us woe; His craft and power are great. And, armed with cruel hate, On earth is not his equal. [Verse 2] Did we in our own strength confide. Our striving would be losing; Were not the right Man on our side. The Man of God's own choosing. Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He; Lord Sabaoth is His name, From age to age the same, And He must win the battle. [Verse 3] And though this world, with devils filled, Should threaten to undo us; We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us. Let goods and kindred go, This mortal life also; The body they may kill : God's truth abideth still. His kingdom is for ever. [Heading 2.1.c] 3. Help Me O Lord [Verse 1] Help me, O Lord, the God of my salvation! I have no hope, no refuge, but in Thee: Help me to make this perfect consecration, In life or death Thine evermore to be. [Verse 2] Help me, O Lord, to keep my pledge unbroken! Guard Thou my ways, my thoughts, my tongue, my heart; Help me to trust the word which Thou hast spoken, That from Thy paths my feet may ne'er [ never ] depart. [Verse 3] Help me, O Lord! My strength is only weakness, Thine, thine the power by which alone I live; Help me each day to bear the cross with meekness. Till Thou at last the promised crown shall give.

There are 225 young men and women studying at Toronto Bible College and an additional 150 attending the Evening Classes. 3. This training is made available to all for a nominal fee which covers only about 15% of the cost of training. 4.
