The shepherds heard that Angel-song
That grace did bring from out the sky
Where Man was born mankind among.
Conditor, our Lord of Power and Might
Now let each man upon Him call,
Who sits enthroned in Heaven high,
That to His bliss He bring us all.

A reader dressed in the costume of the period told the story. A group of sixteen children, masked and costumed as the characters in the story, presented the pantomime.
