PART I Introduction : As God The Lord Elijah As God the Lord of Israel liveth , before whom I stand : There shall not be dew nor rain these years , but according to my word . Overture 1 . Chorus : Help , Lord ! The People Help , Lord ! Wilt Thou quite destroy us ! The harvest now is over , the summer days are gone , and yet no power cometh to help us ! Will then the Lord be no more God in Zion ? The deeps afford no water ! And the rivers are exhausted ! The suckling ' s tongue now cleaveth for thirst to his mouth ! The infant children ask for bread ! And there is no one breaketh it to feed them 2 . Duet with Chorus : Lord , Bow thine ear The People Lord , bow Thine ear to our prayer Two WomenZion spreadeth her hands for aid , and there is neither help nor comfort . 3 . Recitative : Ye people , rend your hearts Obadiah Ye people , rend your hearts and not your garments for your transgressions : the prophet Elijah hath sealed the heavens through the word of God . I therefore say to ye : forsake your idols , return to God ; for He is slow to anger , and merciful , and kind , and gracious , and repenteth Him of the evil . 4 Aria : If with all your hearts Obadiah ' If with all your hearts ye truly seek Me , ye shall ever surely find Me . ' Thus saith our God . Oh ! that I knew where I might find Him , that I might even come before His presence ! 5 . Chorus : Yet doth the Lord The People Yet doth the Lord see it not , He mocketh at us ; His curse hath fallen down upon us , His wrath will pursue us till He destroy us . For He , the Lord our God , He is a jealous God , and He visiteth all the fathers ' sins on the children to the third and the fourth generation of them that hate Him . His mercies on thousands fall , on all them that love him and keep his commandments . 6 . Recitative : Elijah , get thee hence An Angel Elijah ! Get thee hence , Elijah ! Depart and turn thee eastward : thither hide thee by Cherith ' s brook . There shalt thou drink its waters ; and the Lord thy God hath commanded the ravens to feed thee there : so do according unto His word . 6 A . Duet : Now I Know First BelieverNow I know that thou art a man of God , and that His word in thy mouth is the truth . What shall I render to the Lord for all His benefits for me ! Second Believer Thou shalt love the Lord , thy God , love him with all thine heart . .. Duet . .. with all my soul and with all my might . Oh blessed are they who fear Him ! 7 . Chorus : Blessed are the men People Blessed are the men who fear Him , they ever walk in the way of peace . Through darkness riseth light , light to the upright . He is gracious , compassionate ; He is righteous 8 . Recitative & Chorus : As God the Lord Elijah As God the Lord of Sabaoth liveth , before whom I stand , three years this day fulfilled , I will shew myself unto Ahab ; and the Lord will then send rain again upon the earth . Ahab Art thou Elijah ! Art thou he that troubleth Israel ! The People Thou art Elijah , thou he that troubleth Israel ! Elijah I never troubled Israel ' s peace : it is thou , Ahab , and all thy father ' s house Ye have forsaken God ' s commands , and thou hast follow ' d Baalim . Now send , and gather . to me the whole of Israel unto Mount Carmel ; there summon the prophets of Baal , and also the prophets of Baal , and also the prophets of the groves who are house feasted at Jezebel ' s table . Then we shall see whose God is the Lord . The People And then we shall see whose God is the Lord . Elijah Rise then , ye priests of Baal ; select and slay a bullock , and put no fire under it ; uplift your voices and call the god ye worship ; and the god who by fire shall answer , let him be God . The People Yea , and the God who by fire shall answer , let him be God . Elijah Call first upon your god , your numbers are many . I , even I only , remain one prophet of the Lord . Invoke your forest gods , and mountain deities . 9 . Chorus : Baal , we cry to thee Prophets of Baal Baal , we cry to thee , hear and answer us ! Heed the sacrifice we offer ! Hear us , Baal ! Hear , mighty god ! Baal , oh answer us ! Baal , let thy flames fall and vanquish the foe ! 10 . Recitative & Chorus : Call him louder Elijah Call him louder , for he is a god ! He talketh , or he is pursuing , or he is in a journey ; or , peradventure , he sleepeth : so awaken him ! Call him louder , call him louder ! Prophets of Baal Hear our cry , o Baal , now arise ! Wherefore slumber ? 11 . Recitative & Chorus : Call him louder Elijah Call him louder ! He heareth not . With knives and lancets cut yourselves after your manner . Leap upon the altar ye have made , call him and prophesy ! Not a voice will answer you : none will listen , none heed you . Prophets of Baal Baal ! Baal ! Hear and answer , Baal ! Mark how the scorner derideth us ! Elijah Draw near , all ye people , come to me ! 12 . Aria : Draw near , all ye people Elijah Lord God of Abraham , Isaac and Israel , this day let it be known that Thou art God , and that I am Thy servant ! Lord God of Abraham ! Oh shew to all this people that I have done these things according to Thy word . Oh hear me , Lord , and answer me ! Lord God of Abraham , Isaac and Israel , oh hear me and answer me , and shew this people that Thou art Lord God . And let their hearts again be turned ! 13 . Quartet : Cast thy Burden Angels Cast thy burden upon the Lord , and he shall sustain thee . He never will suffer the righteous to fall : He is at thy right hand . Thy mercy , Lord , is great , and far above the heavens . Let none be made ashamed , that wait upon Thee ! 14 . Recitative & Chorus : O Thou , who makest / The Fire DescendsElijah O Thou , who makest Thine angels spirits ; Thou , whose ministers are flaming fires : let them now descend ! The People The fire descends from heaven ! The flames consume his offering ! Before Him upon your faces fall ! The Lord is God , the Lord is God ! O Israel hear ! Our God is one Lord , and we will have no other gods before the Lord . Elijah Take all the prophets of Baal , and let not one of them escape you . Bring them down to Kishon ' s brook , and there let them be slain . The People Take all the prophets of Baal and let not one of them escape us : bring all and slay them ! 15 . Aria : Is not His word like a fire ! Elijah Is not His word like a fire , and like a hammer that breaketh the rock into pieces ! For God is angry with the wicked every day . And if the wicked turn not , the Lord will whet His sword ; and He hath bent His bow , and made it ready . 16 . Recitative : O man of GodObadiah O man of God , help thy people ! Among the idols of the Gentiles , are there any that can command the rain , or cause the heavens to give their showers ! The Lord our God alone can do these things . 16 A . Recitative & Chorus : O Lord , Thou hast overthrown Thine enemies Elijah O Lord , Thou hast overthrown Thine enemies and destroyed them . Look down on us from heaven , o Lord ; regard the distress of Thy people . Open the heavens and send us relief . Help , help Thy servant now , o God ! The People Open the heavens and send us relief . Help , help Thy servant now , o God ! Elijah Go up now , child , and look toward the sea . Hath my prayer been heard by the Lord ! The ChildThere is nothing . The heavens are as brass , they are as brass above me . Elijah When the heavens are closed up because they have sinned against Thee : yet if they pray and confess Thy name , and turn away from their sins when Thou dost afflict them : then hear from heaven , and forgive the sin . Help , send Thy servant help , o God ! The People Then hear from heaven , and forgive the sin . Help , send Thy servant help , o God ! Elijah Go up again , and still look towards the sea . The ChildThere is nothing . The earth is as iron under me Elijah Hearest thou no sound of rain ! Seest thou nothing arise from the deep ! The ChildNo : there is nothing . Elijah Have respect to the prayer of Thy servant , o Lord , my God ! Unto Thee will I cry , Lord , my rock , be not silent to me ! And Thy great mercies remember , Lord . The ChildBehold , a little cloud ariseth now from the waters ; it is like a man ' s hand ! The heavens are black with cloud and with wind ; the storm rusheth louder and louder ! The People Thanks be to God for all His mercies . Elijah Thanks be to God ! For He is gracious ; and His mercy endureth for evermore ! 17 . Chorus : Thanks be to God ! The People Thanks be to God ! He quencheth the thirsty land . The waters gather , they rush along , they are lifting their voices . The stormy billows are high , their fury is mighty . But the Lord is above them and almighty . PART II 18 . Aria : Hear ye , Israel Soprano Hear ye , Israel , hear what the Lord speaketh : ' Oh , hadst thou heeded my commandments ' Who hath believed our report ! To whom is the arm of the Lord revealed ! Thus saith the Lord , the Redeemer of Israel , and His Holy one to him oppressed by tyrants , thus saith the Lord : ' I am He that comforteth . Be not afraid , for I am thy God ! I will strengthen thee ! Say , who art thou , that thou art afraid of a man that shall die ; and forgettest the Lord thy Maker , who hath stretched forth the heavens , and laid the earth ' s foundations ? Say , who art thou ! ' 19 . Be Not Afaid ' Be not afraid , ' saith God the Lord , ' be not afraid , thy help is near ! ' God , the Lord , thy God , saith unto thee : ' Be not afraid ! ' Though thousands languish and fall beside thee , and tens of thousands around thee perish , yet still it shall not come nigh thee . 20 . Duet : : Man of God Obadiah Man of God , now let my words be precious in thy sight . Thus saith Jezebel ;' Elijah is worthy to die '. So the mighty gather against thee , and they have prepared a net for thy steps ; that they may seize thee , that they say slay thee . Arise then , and hasten for thy life ; to the wilderness journey . The Lord thy God doth go with thee : He will not fail thee , He will not forsake thee . Now begone and bless me also ! Elijah Though stricken , they have not grieved . Tarry here my servant : the Lord be with thee . I journey hence to the wilderness . 21 . Aria : It is enough Elijah It is enough ! O Lord , now take away my life , for I am not better than my fathers ! I desire to live no longer : now let me die , for my days are but vanity . I have been very jealous for the Lord God of Hosts , for the children of Israel have broken Thy covenant , and thrown down Thine altars , and slain all Thy prophets , slain them with the sword . And I , even I only am left : and they seek my life to take it away ! It is enough ! O Lord , now take away my life , for I am not better than my fathers ! Now let me die , Lord , take away my life ! 22 . Aria : See , now he sleepeth Tenor See , now he sleepeth beneath a juniper tree in the wilderness , but the angels of the Lord encamp round about all them that fear Him . 23 . Trio : Lift thine eyes Angels Lift thine eyes to the mountains , whence cometh help . Thy help cometh from the Lord , the Maker of heaven and earth . He hath said , thy foot shall not be moved , thy Keeper will never slumber . 24 . Chorus : He watching over Israel Chorus He , watching over Israel , slumbers not , nor sleeps . Shouldst thou , walking in grief , languish , He will quicken thee . 25 . Aria : O Rest in the Lord An Angel Oh rest in the Lord , wait patiently for Him , and He shall give thee thy heart ' s desires . Commit thy way unto Him , and trust in Him , and fret not thyself because of evil - doers . 26 . Chorus : He that shall endure Chorus He that shall endure to the end , shall be saved . 27 . Recitative : Night falleth around me Elijah Night falleth round me , o Lord ! Be Thou not far from me ! Hide not Thy face , o Lord , from me , my soul is thirsting for Thee , as a thirsty land . An Angel Arise now , get thee without , stand on the mount before the Lord : for there His glory will appear , and shine on thee ! Thy face must be veiled , for He draweth near . 28 . Chorus : Behold God the Lord Chorus Behold , God the Lord passed by ! And a mighty wind rent the mountains around , brake in pieces the rocks , brake them before the Lord . But yet the Lord was not in the tempest . Behold , God the Lord passed by ! And the sea was upheaved , and the earth was shaken . But yet the Lord was not in the earthquake . And after the earthquake there came a fire . But yet the Lord was not in the fire . And after the fire there came a still small voice . And in that still voice onward came the Lord . 29 . Recitative & Chorus : Holy is God Above Him stood the Seraphim , and one cried to another : Seraphim Holy , holy , holy is God the Lord , the Lord Sabaoth ! Now His glory hath filled all the earth . 30 . Chorus & Recitative : Go , return upon thy way / I go on my way Chorus Go , return upon thy way ! For the Lord yet hath left Him seven thousand in Israel , knees which have not bowed to Baal . Go , return upon thy way ! Thus the Lord commandeth . Elijah I go on my way in the strength of the Lord For Thou art my Lord ; and I will suffer for Thy sake . My heart is therefore glad , my glory rejoiceth ; and my flesh shall also rest in hope . 31 . Arioso : For the mountains Elijah For the mountains shall depart , and the hills be removed ; but Thy kindness shall not depart from me ; neither shall the covenant of Thy peace be removed . 32 . Chorus : Then did Elijah Chorus Then did Elijah the prophet break forth like a fire ; his words appeared like burning torches . Mighty kings by him were overthrown . He stood on the mount of Sinai and heard the judgments of the future , and in Horeb its vengeance . And when the Lord would take him away to heaven , lo ! There came a fiery chariot with fiery horses , and he went by a whirlwind to heaven . 33 . Aria : Then Shall the Righteous Tenor Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in their heavenly Father ' s realm . Joy on their head shall be for everlasting , and all sorrow and mourning shall flee away for ever . 34 . Chorus : And Then Shall Your Light Chorus And then shall your light break forth as the light of morning breaketh : and your health shall speedily spring forth then : and the glory of the Lord ever shall reward you . Lord , our Creator . how excellent Thy Name is in all the nations ! Thou fillest heaven with Thy glory . Amen . 사업자 정보 표시 | | | 사업자 등록 번호 : -- | TEL : -- | 사이버 몰의 이용 약관 바로 가 기
