Ready to conclude Thy race

Verse 1
Ready to conclude thy race
With this great miracle,
Lord, Thou dost thy Father praise,
Thou dost Thyself reveal:
Heard in this, in every hour,
Thou all thy wondrous works hast done,
By thine own essential power,
With God forever One.

Verse 2
Sovereign Lord of life and death
Thy right Divine receive,
All who by thy mercy breathe
Should to thy glory live;
God supream in majesty
Thee, Jesus, I with joy confess
Sent from God to quicken me,
And all our ransom’d race.
