Luyện nghe bài hát The Christmas Guest

It happened one day near end
Two called on an old friend
And found his shop so meager and lean
gay with a thousand bows of green
And was sittin' with face ashined
When he stopped as he stiched a twine
And he "Oh friends at dawn today
the cock was crowin' the night away
The appeared in a dream to me
And 'I'm comin' your guest to be.'
So I've been with feet astir
And strewin' my with branches of fir
The is spread and the kettle is shined
And over the rafters the holly is
Now I'll wait for my to appear
And listen closely so I will His step
As He nears my place
And I'll open the and look on His face"
So his friends went home and left alone
For this was the happiest day he'd
For since his family had passed away
And had spent many a sad Christmas day
But he with the Lord as his Christmas guest
This Christmas would be the dearest and
So he with only joy in his heart
And with every sound he would rise with a
And look for the Lord to be at his
Like the vision had a few hours before
So he ran to the window hearin' a sound
But all he could see on the snow-covered
Was a begger who's shoes were torn
And all of his clothes were and worn
But Conrad was touched and he to the door
And he "You know, your feet must be frozen and sore
I some shoes in my shop for you
And a that'll keep you warmer too"
So with heart, the man went away
But Conrad the time of day
And wondered what made the so late
And how much he'd have to wait
he heard a knock he ran to the door
But it was only a once more
A ol' lady with a shawl of black
With a bundle of kindlin' on her back
She for only a place to rest
But that was reserved for great guest
But her voice seemed to plead "Don't send me
Let me rest for on Christmas day"
So Conrad her a steamin' cup
And her to sit at the table and sup
But after she he was filled with dismay
For he saw that the hours were away
And the Lord come as He said He would
And Conrad felt he'd misunderstood
out of the stillness he heard a cry
"Please me, and tell me where am I!"
So again he opened his door
And stood as twice before
It was a child who'd wandered away
And was from her family on Christmas day
Again, heart was heavy and sad
But he he should make the little girl glad
So he called her in and he her tears
And all her childish fears
he led her back to her home once more
But as he his own darkened door
He the Lord was not comin' today
For the of Christmas had passed away
So he went to his room and he knelt to pray
And he said "Dear Lord, why did You
kept You from comin' to call on me?
For I wanted so Your Face to see"
When in the silence, a voice he heard
"Lift up head, for I kept my word
times my shadow crossed your floor
And times I came to your lonely door
I was the begger bruised, cold feet
And I was the you gave somethin' to eat
I was the on the homeless street.
Three times I knocked and three times I in
And each time I found the of a friend
Of all the love is the best
And I was to be your Christmas guest."
