1.	Blessed Art Thou, O Night 03:37	lyrics
In the name of the One born on this day, Him Whom God hath made to be the Herald of His name, the Almighty, the All-Loving! This is a Tablet We have addressed unto that night wherein the heavens and the earth were illumined by a Light that cast its radiance over the entire creation. Blessed art thou, O night! For through thee was born the Day of God, a Day which We have ordained to be the lamp of salvation unto the denizens of the cities of names, the chalice of victory... (the chalice of victory) unto the champions of the arenas of eternity, and the dawning-place of joy and exultation unto all creation.
2.	Queen of Carmel 06:41	lyrics
Standing on the mountain  Looking across the bay  The Queen of Carmel reigns  She reigns majestically   Cry out, O Zion  Cry out to your Lord  Cry out, O Zion  Circle 'round in adoration  Circle 'round your Lord  Robed in white and crowned in gold  She stands for unity  God will sail His Ark on thee  As mentioned in the Book of Names  Cry out, O Zion  Cry out to your Lord  Cry out, O Zion  Circle 'round in adoration  Circle 'round your Lord Unto God the Lord of Lords  Belong Kingdoms of earth and heaven  Land and sea rejoice this Day  The Day of Revelation Cry out, O Zion  Cry out to your Lord  Cry out, O Zion  Circle 'round in adoration  Circle 'round your Lord
