Introduction (2:12)
I went to sleep (4:00)
My work is done, my task id o’er (9:20)

Thy judgment now is near (2:13)
Jesu! By that shuddering dread which fell on Thee (5:37)
Praise to His name! (1:34)
Take me away (3:15)
Lord, Thou hast been our refuge (1:36)
Softly and gently, dearly ransomed soul (9:56)
