Luyện nghe bài hát The Christmas Guest

It happened one day December's end
Two neighbors on an old friend
And they found his so meager and lean
gay with a thousand bows of green
And Conrad was sittin' with face
When he suddenly stopped as he a twine
And he said "Oh friends at dawn
When the cock was crowin' the away
The appeared in a dream to me
And said 'I'm comin' your to be.'
So I've been busy with feet
And strewin' my with branches of fir
The table is spread and the is shined
And the rafters the holly is twined
Now I'll wait for my 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 left alone
For this was the day he'd known
For long his family had passed away
And Conrad had many a sad Christmas day
But he knew with the Lord as his guest
Christmas would be the dearest and best
So he listened with only joy in his
And with every he would rise with a start
And look for the Lord to be at his
Like the vision he'd had a few before
So he ran to the window hearin' a sound
But all he could see on the ground
Was a shabby begger 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 be frozen and sore
I have some shoes in my for you
And a that'll keep you warmer too"
So grateful heart, the man went away
But Conrad the time of day
And what made the Lord so late
And how much he'd have to wait
he heard a knock he ran to the door
But it was only a stranger more
A bent ol' with a shawl of black
With a of kindlin' piled on her back
She for only a place to rest
But that was reserved for great guest
But her voice seemed to "Don't send me away
Let me rest for on Christmas day"
So brewed 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 slippin' 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 help me, and me where am I!"
So again he opened his friendly
And stood disappointed as before
It was only a child 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 wiped her
And quieted all her childish
Then he led her back to her home once
But as he entered his own door
He knew the Lord was not comin'
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 comin' to on me?
For I wanted so much Face to see"
soft in the silence, a voice he heard
"Lift up your head, for I my word
Three my shadow crossed your floor
And three times I to your lonely door
I was the with bruised, cold feet
And I was the woman you somethin' to eat
I was the child on the street.
Three I knocked and three times I came in
And each time I found the warmth of a
Of all the gifts love is the
And I was to be your Christmas guest."
