death_n be_v our_o great_a year_n of_o jubilee_n our_o year_n of_o release_n when_o we_o shall_v be_v set_v at_o liberty_n from_o all_o our_o bondage_n and_o thraldom_n from_o all_o our_o debt_n and_o

for_o their_o redemption_n draw_v nigh_o god_n people_n in_o this_o world_n be_v like_o jonah_n in_o the_o tempest_n this_o world_n be_v as_o the_o roar_a and_o rage_a sea_n still_o ready_a to_o
