S. The Peerless One

The Peerless One.

O THOU, Jehovah’s fellow, Man!

Jesus, my Lord, God’s Son Human perfection at its height But found in Thee alone. To Abba’s love, to God’s high claims, Thou cam’st not short at all;

Perfect in everything art Thou Alone since Adam’s fall.

O matchless, peerless Man! shall we Begrudge to Thee this praise?

Perfect, alone Thou cam’st in love To glory us to raise.

Peerlessly, spotless One! ’twas Thou The wrath did’st bear for me Peerlessly, righteous One! I’m made God’s righteousness in Thee.

Peerlessly, glorious One; how soon Shall I be like to Thee?

Thy very glory then reflect, Thy perfect beauty see.

G. V. Wigram.
