Luyện nghe bài hát The Christmas Guest

It happened one day near end
Two neighbors on an old friend
And they his shop so meager and lean
Made gay with a bows of green
And Conrad was sittin' with face
When he suddenly stopped as he a twine
And he "Oh friends at dawn today
When the cock was crowin' the away
The Lord in a dream to me
And said 'I'm your guest to be.'
So been busy with feet astir
And strewin' my shop branches of fir
The table is spread and the is shined
And over the the holly is twined
Now wait for my Lord to appear
And listen closely so I will His step
As He nears my place
And open the door and look on His face"
So his friends home and left Conrad alone
For this was the happiest day known
For long since his family had away
And had spent many a sad Christmas day
But he knew with the Lord as his Christmas
This Christmas would be the dearest and
So he with only joy in his heart
And with every sound he would rise a start
And look for the Lord to be at his
Like the vision he'd had a few hours
So he ran to the window hearin' a sound
But all he could see on the snow-covered
Was a shabby who's shoes were torn
And all of his clothes were ragged and
But Conrad was touched and he to the door
And he said "You know, your feet be frozen and sore
I have some in my shop for you
And a coat keep you warmer too"
So with grateful heart, the man away
But Conrad the time of day
And wondered what made the Lord so
And how much longer he'd to wait
When he a knock he ran to the door
But it was only a once more
A bent ol' lady with a of black
With a of kindlin' piled on her back
She asked for only a place to
But that was reserved for Conrad's great
But her seemed to plead "Don't send me away
Let me rest for awhile on day"
So brewed her a steamin' cup
And her to sit at the table 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 felt sure he'd misunderstood
out of the stillness he heard a cry
"Please help me, and tell me am I!"
So again he opened his friendly
And stood as twice before
It was only a who'd wandered away
And was lost her family on Christmas day
Again, heart was heavy and sad
But he knew he make the little girl glad
So he called her in and he wiped her
And all her childish fears
Then he led her back to her once more
But as he entered his own door
He knew the was not comin' today
For the hours of had passed away
So he went to his and he knelt down to pray
And he said "Dear Lord, why did You
What You from comin' to call on me?
For I wanted so much Your to see"
soft in the silence, a voice he heard
"Lift up your head, for I kept my
Three times my shadow your floor
And times I came to your lonely door
I was the with bruised, cold feet
And I was the woman you gave to eat
I was the child on the street.
Three times I knocked and three I came in
And each I found the warmth of a friend
Of all the gifts is the best
And I was to be your Christmas guest."
