Shepherds Arise
This is from the singing of the Copper family, of Rottingdean in Sussex, who developed a style of harmony-singing derived from village church music. Their family manuscript song-books trace this tradition back through six generations.
lyrics
Shepherds arise, be not afraid, with hasty steps repair,
To David's city, sing all earth, unto Our Blessed Infant,
To Our Blessed Infant there, to Our Blessed Infant there, to Our Blessed Infant there.
CHORUS:
Sing, sing all earth, sing sing all earth eternal praises,
Sing unto Our Redeemer, Unto Our Redeemer and Our Heavenly King.
Laid in a manger, view the Child humility divine, sweet innocence and meek and mild,
Grace in His features, in His features shines,
Grace in His features shines, grace in His features shines.
CHORUS.
For us a Saviour came on earth, for us His life he gave,
To save us from eternal death and to raise us from and to raise us from the grave,
To raise us from the grave, to raise us from the grave.

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
