THE FAIREST HE by HORATIO (HORATIUS) BONAR

Poet Analysis

First Line: NONE LIKE HE, OF THE SONS OF MEN
Last Line: OF MATCHLESS WORTH.
Subject(s): JESUS CHRIST;
None like Him, of the sons of men,
Of all that noble be;
Among ten thousand of the fair,
The fairest He!

Yea, altogether lovely He;
All-perfect, like Him none;
Of excellent the chiefest He,
The Spotless One.

His is the name of names in heaven,
The name of names on earth;
I glory in that glorious name
Of matchless worth.
