Song of the Week: Chris Tomlin's "O Worship The King"

In my "Song of the Week" feature we're reaching back to some old hymns for a few weeks. This week's hymn is "O Worship the King." The words are by Robert Grant in 1833, a reworking of a composition that dates back to 1561. The rendition I'm featuring this week is by Austin's Chris Tomlin from the Passion Band project, Hymns: Ancient and Modern. It includes a chorus added by Tomlin:

O worship the King, all glorious above
O gratefully sing His wonderful love
Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days
Pavilioned in splender, and girded with praise

O tell of His might, O sing of His grace
Whose robe is the light and canopy space
His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form
And dark is His path on the wings of the storm

O measureless might, ineffable love
While angels delight to worship above
Thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end
Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend

Chorus:
You alone are the matchles King
To You alone be all majesty
Your glories and wonders, what tongue can recite?
You breathe in the air, You shine in the light
