four_o yet_o with_o this_o holy_a heat_n and_o freedom_n of_o spirit_n let_v your_o praise_n this_o day_n have_v a_o temperament_n of_o holy_a fear_n and_o your_o rejoice_n a_o allay_n of_o

this_o gracious_a fear_n moses_n put_v this_o ingredient_n into_o his_o song_n of_o triumph_n for_o the_o overthrow_n of_o pharaoh_n and_o his_o host_n in_o the_o red_a sea_n who_o be_v like_a unto_o
