- Hier laßt mich ruhn die letzte Stunde
- Noch einen Augenblick?
- Trübe nicht mit Klagen seine Seele

- Voll Friede, ja, voll Fried' ist die Seele
- Kalter Schweiß rinnt von der Stirn
- Willkommen, mein Nathanael
- Wenn ich ihm nachgerungen habe
- Nathanael, bewundern kann ich dich
- O Martha, o Martha, bliebst du stiller
- Der Trost begleite dich hinüber
- Wenn nun mit tausendfachen Qualen
- Gottes Liebe, du bist deine Zuversicht
- In der Leiden bängster Nacht
- Ach, so find' ich ihn noch
- Jemina, Tochter der Auferstehung
- So schlummert auf Rosen
- Nun entflog auf schnellen Schwingen
- So war mir, Lazarus
- O Barmherziger, o verlass ihn nicht

References
- The Gramophone – Volume 59, Issue 1, 1981: "Lazarus is an incomplete work by Schubert and Theodor Guschlbauer has recorded the work precisely as Schubert left it, ending at the very point where the master laid down his pen. A work of immense importance and content"
- Classic CD. 1996 – Issues 75–80 p. 165: "It was Rilling who instigated the completion of Schubert's Lazarus. And in doing so, Denisov has erected a new edifice without destroying the foundation. He develops Schubert's ideas leading to a contemporary, satisfying completion."
