Luyện nghe bài hát The Christmas Guest

It happened one day December's end
Two neighbors on an old friend
And found his shop so meager and lean
Made gay with a thousand of green
And Conrad was sittin' with ashined
When he suddenly stopped as he a twine
And he said "Oh friends at dawn
When the cock was crowin' the night
The appeared in a dream to me
And said 'I'm comin' guest to be.'
So I've been busy 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 Lord to
And listen closely so I will hear His
As He nears my place
And I'll open the door and on His face"
So his friends went home and left alone
For this was the day he'd known
For long since his family had 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 joy in his heart
And with every sound he would rise a start
And look for the to be at his door
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 shabby who's shoes were torn
And all of his clothes were and worn
But Conrad was and he went to the door
And he said "You know, your feet must be 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 noticed the time of day
And wondered made the Lord so late
And how much he'd have to wait
When he a knock he ran to the door
But it was a stranger once more
A bent ol' lady a shawl of black
With a bundle of piled on her back
She asked for only a place to
But that was reserved for Conrad's guest
But her seemed 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 left he was filled dismay
For he saw the hours were slippin' away
And the Lord come as He said He would
And Conrad sure he'd misunderstood
When out of the stillness he a cry
"Please help me, and me where am I!"
So again he opened his friendly
And stood disappointed as before
It was only a who'd wandered away
And was lost from her on Christmas day
Again, Conrad's was heavy and sad
But he knew he should make the girl glad
So he called her in and he wiped her
And quieted all her fears
Then he led her to her home once more
But as he entered his own door
He knew the Lord was not today
For the hours of Christmas had passed
So he went to his room and he knelt down to
And he "Dear Lord, why did You delay?
What You from comin' to call on me?
For I so much Your Face to see"
soft in the silence, a voice he heard
"Lift up your head, for I my word
Three times my shadow your floor
And three 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 times I in
And each time I found the of a friend
Of all the gifts is the best
And I was honored to be Christmas guest."
