Another of the mighty South Yorkshire Carols!

lyrics
All hail the power of Jesus' name
Let angels never fall,
Let angels never fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown Him,
And crown Him, crown Him, crown Him
And crown Him Lord of all
Ye saints redeemed of Adam's race,
Ye ransomed for the fall
Ye ransomed for the fall
Hail Him who saves you by His grace
And crown Him,
And crown Him, crown Him, crown Him
And crown Him Lord of all
Sinners, whose love can ne'er forget
The wormwood and the gall
The wormwood and the gall
Go, spread your trophies at His feet
And crown Him,
And crown Him, crown Him, crown Him
And crown Him Lord of all
Oh that with yonder sacred throng
We at His feet may fall
We at His feet may fall
Join in the everlasting song
And crown Him,
And crown Him, crown Him, crown Him
And crown Him Lord of all
And crown Him,
And crown Him, crown Him, crown Him
And crown Him Lord of all

There's a similarity in song writing between Richard Thompson and Hugh Cornwell which maybe isn't surprising as they went to the same school at the same time, although Thompson is older.
Due to Thompson's association with John French of Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band I searched for his work on the Bandcamp app. French, Thompson and Cornwell all have albums on the app which I'm very pleased about. Only Thompson has released contemporary albums, much to his credit. yellowcakeuf6
John Drumbo French from Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band worked with Thompson on two albums along with Fred Frith and Henry Kaiser.
Those two French, Frith, Kaiser and Thompson albums led me to this.
Also, Richard Thompson taught Hugh Cornwell (of The Stranglers) how to play the bass guitar in a band when they were both at the same school (Emil and The Detectives?).
With a career spanning 50 years and playing with two of my heroes (French and Cornwell) Thompson has produced a fascinating EP. yellowcakeuf6
