Contents:
CD 1: As God the Lord of Israel liveth -- Help, Lord! -- The deep affords no water! -- Lord, bow Thine ear to our pray'r! -- Ye people, rend your hearts -- If with all your hearts -- Yet doth the Lord see it not -- Elijah! Get thee hence; Elijah! -- For he shall give His angels charge -- Now Cherith's brook is dried up -- What have I to doith thee -- Bless'd are they who fear the Lord -- As God the Lord of Sabaoth liveth -- Baal, we cry to thee -- 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 -- Is not His word like a fire! -- Woe, woe unto them who forsake Him! -- O man of God, help thy people -- Thanks be to God!

CD 2: Hear ye, Israel -- Thus saith the Lord -- I am He that comforteth -- Be not afraid, saith God the Lord -- The Lord hath exalted thee -- Woe to him! He shall perish! -- Man of God, now let my words -- It is enough! O Lord, now take -- See, now he sleepeth -- Lift thine eyes to the mountains -- He, watching over Israel, slumbers not -- Arise, Elijah -- Oh rest in the Lord, wait patiently for Him -- He that shall endure to the end -- Night falleth round me! O Lord -- Behold, God the Lord passed by! -- Above Him stood the Seraphim -- Holy, holy, holy -- Go return upon thy way -- For the mountains shall depart -- Then did Elijah the prophet break forth -- Then shall the righteous shine -- Behold, God hath sent Elijah the prophet -- But the Lord from the north hath raised one -- Oh come ev'ryone that thirsteth -- And then shall your light break forth.
