Thou Who art enthroned above. G. Sandys [Ps. xcii.] Published in his Paraphrase upon the Psalmes of David, 1636; again in his Paraphrases upon the Divine Poems (with which the Psalmes were incorporated), 1638; and again in later editions of the same. It is in 46 lines. In Biekersteth's Christian Psalmody, 1833, 24 lines, beginning with the first, were given as No. 237. This cento was repeated in the Leeds Hymn Book, 1853; the New Congregational Hymn Book, 1859, and others. Another cento is in the revised edition of the Wesleyan Hymn Book, 1875. It consists of 18 lines from the original paraphrase, and begins with the first line.
