The tune we use for "O Worship the King" is a very nice one, IMO, though I also like "Hanover." Interestingly, the first five notes of the two tunes are identical, as I discovered to my embarrassment the first time I sang the hymn in England from a text-only copy of a hymnal.
You can hear our tune ("Lyons") here. Click on either the midi or mp3; both are piano performances in what I'd describe as a very tasteful Gospel style (whaddya mean, "oxymoron"?).
