Contents:
Disc 1. Part 1. As God the Lord of Israel liveth -- Help, Lord -- The deep affords no water -- Zion spreadeth her hands for aid -- Ye people, rend your hearts -- If with all your hearts -- Yet doth the Lord see it not -- Elijah! get thee hence -- For He shall give His angels -- Now Cherith's brook is dried up -- What have I to do with thee -- Give me thy son -- Blessed are all they that fear Him -- As God the Lord of Sabaoth liveth -- Baal, answer us -- Call him louder, for he is a god! -- Call him louder! He heareth not -- Lord God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel -- Cast thy burden upon the Lord -- O Thou, who makest thine angels spirits -- Is not His word like a fire? -- Woe unto them who forsake Him! -- O man of God, help thy people! -- Thanks be to God.

Disc 2. Part 2. Hear ye, Israel -- Be not afraid -- The Lord hath exalted thee -- Woe to him! -- Man of God, now let my words be precious -- It is enough, O Lord -- See, now he sleepeth -- Lift thine eyes -- He, watching over Israel -- Arise, Elijah -- O rest in the Lord -- He that shall endure to the end -- Night falleth 'round me -- Behold, God the Lord passed by! -- Above him stood the seraphim -- Go, return upon thy way -- I go on my way -- For the mountains shall depart -- Thus did Elijah the prophet break forth -- Then shall the righteous shine forth -- For God sent his people the prophet Elijah -- Thus saith the Lord -- O come, everyone that thirsteth -- And then shall your light break forth.
