Luyện nghe bài hát The Christmas Guest

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