O come everyone that thirsteth & And then shall your light break forth

From Mendelsohn's Elijah. The final text is set in 1 Kings 19; 2 Kings 1, 2. Here ends the story of Elijah.
Mendelssohn had originally intended to bring the oratorio to a close here as well, but Schubring convinced him to add an aria, “Then shall the righteous shine forth,” a recitative, and three choruses that do not bear directly on the personality of Elijah. The last of these, “And then shall your light break forth,” which glorifies God, is a brilliant fugue that forms a powerful conclusion to this massive work.
