dawning_n of_o that_o glorious_a day_n but_o to_o breathe_v after_o clear_a discovery_n of_o the_o love_n and_o favour_n of_o god_n in_o and_o through_o a_o saviour_n this_o must_v certain_o be_v a_o

the_o sweet_a breath_n of_o a_o gracious_a heart_n when_o the_o holy_a psalmist_n address_v himself_o in_o such_o a_o pathetic_a prayer_n to_o heaven_n 106.4,5_o psa_fw-la 106.4,5_o remember_v i_o o_o
