Luyện nghe bài hát The Absentee

"Someone is absent," the said
As over my he bent his head
"For Sundays absent too
So tell me what did you do?"

"I didn't call as I should
I sent cards but they did no good
I never heard and she came
So I decided to her name"

He answered gravely, "The was mine
Hundred, no, there were nine
One was lost and dark and
I sought that sheep had left the fold

The was stony and edged with thorns
My were wounded bruised and torn
I kept on not counting the cost
And overjoyed I found the lost"

Thus spoke the in tender tones
"I and lo, I was all alone
But God, a vision, had to me
To show his will the absentee"
