Luyện nghe bài hát The Christmas Guest

It happened one day December's end
Two called on an old friend
And they found his so meager and lean
Made gay with a bows of green
And was sittin' with face ashined
When he suddenly stopped as he stiched a
And he said "Oh friends at dawn
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 shop with of fir
The table is spread and the kettle is
And over the rafters the holly is
Now I'll for my Lord to appear
And listen closely so I will His step
As He nears my humble
And I'll the door and look on His face"
So his friends home and left Conrad alone
For this was the happiest day known
For long his family had passed away
And Conrad had spent a sad Christmas day
But he knew with the as his Christmas guest
This Christmas would be the dearest and
So he listened with only joy in his
And with every sound he would with a start
And look for the to be at his door
the vision he'd had a few hours before
So he ran to the window after hearin' a
But all he could see on the snow-covered
Was a shabby begger who's shoes were
And all of his clothes were ragged and
But Conrad was touched and he to the door
And he said "You know, feet must be frozen and sore
I have some in my shop for you
And a coat that'll keep you too"
So with heart, the man went away
But Conrad the time of day
And wondered what the Lord so late
And how much longer he'd to wait
When he heard a knock he ran to the
But it was a stranger once more
A bent ol' with a shawl of black
With a bundle of piled on her back
She asked for only a place to
But that was for Conrad's great guest
But her voice to plead "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 after she he was filled with dismay
For he saw that the hours were away
And the Lord hadn't come as He He would
And Conrad sure he'd misunderstood
When out of the he heard a cry
"Please me, and tell me where am I!"
So he opened his friendly door
And stood disappointed as twice
It was only a child who'd wandered
And was lost from her on Christmas day
Again, Conrad's was heavy and sad
But he knew he should make the little glad
So he her in and he wiped her tears
And all her childish fears
Then he led her to her home once more
But as he his own darkened door
He knew the Lord was not today
For the hours of had passed away
So he to his room and he knelt down to pray
And he said "Dear Lord, why did You
What kept You from to call on me?
For I so much Your Face 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 I came to your lonely door
I was the begger with bruised, cold
And I was the woman you somethin' to eat
I was the child on the street.
Three times I knocked and times I came in
And time I found the warmth of a friend
Of all the gifts love is the
And I was to be your Christmas guest."
