I'm thinking maybe seraph for 7 but can't really parse it.

[BlackadderV]

Actually I think seraphim - Sara him(hymn) around p (piano)

[BlackadderV]

... and 38 should be cherubim chair rub 'im, not cherub.

Seraphim almost sounds right but can't see how the clue works. Sera / Sara??

Most of these clues are phonetic. Sera sounds like Sara or Sarah, him sounds like hymn around p for piano.
