Hear song of praise for that man (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

him

'that man' is the definition.
(him refers to a man)

'hear song of praise' is the wordplay.
'hear' shows a homophone (sound like).
'song of praise' becomes 'hymn' (I've seen this before).
'hymn' sounds like 'HIM'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for him that I've seen before include "Objective male pronoun" , "That man" , "Proper character" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
