indeed_o i_o be_o afraid_a few_o in_o our_o day_n have_v such_o a_o love_n to_o give_v up_o a_o son_n that_o he_o love_v gen._n 22._o 2._o 12._o ay_o but_o this_o be_v but_o to_o give_v up_o the_o

oh_o infinite_a immense_a love_n that_o god_n shall_v give_v his_o only_a son_n the_o son_n of_o his_o delight_n behold_v my_o servant_n in_o who_o my_o soul_n delight_v and_o more_o than_o that_o
