VERSE 1:
By Royal Command on the Opening Night,
Came the Christmas debut of the world’s Leading Light,
And though, at that time, the cast numbered few,
They knew in their hearts they’d been given their cue,
And down through the ages their story has passed,
Ensuring each Christmas is never the last!

CHORUS:
Lights! Music! Action! The Advent Calendar directed,
Let the Narrator have peace to share the joy of His son’s birth,
Ignore the scorn of critics, for we have been selected,
To celebrate the longest-running musical on Earth!

VERSE 2:
The audience come and go with their reviews,
And all of them bringing the buzz of Good News,
They join with the players to each lend a heart,
In the teaching of others to each play a part,
In the ultimate uplifting warm winter’s tale,
A musical miracle on a world scale!

[Chorus]

VERSE 3:
Now the Star in the East is the spotlight once more,
On a stage set with tinsel and presents galore,
Our cast is of millions and grows every year,
Our message of love and hope rings loud and clear,
We all know the script and we all know the score,
Let us lift up our voice in a Christmas “Encore!”

[Chorus]
