And will the God Who reigns on high, p. 194, ii. (under G. Burder). This hymn, we find, was given in the Evangelical Magazine, 1817, p. 160, as the first of two Hymns for Sunday Schools after sermons on their behalf, and signed "S. M. B." The second hymn begins “Dear Saviour, hear our feeble cry." [Rev. James Mearns, M.A.]
