Luyện nghe bài hát The Christmas Guest

It happened one day near end
Two called on an old friend
And they found his shop so and lean
Made gay thousand bows of green

And Conrad was with face a-shine
When he stopped as he stitched a twine
And he said, "Old friends, at today
the cock was crowing the night away
The Lord appeared in a to me"
And said, "I'm your guest to be"

So I've been busy with astir
Strewing my shop with of fern
The is spread and the kettle 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 door and look on His

So his friends went and left Conrad alone
For this was the happiest day he had
For long since, his family had away
And had spent many a sad Christmas Day

But he with the Lord as his Christmas Guest
This would be the dearest and best
So he listened only joy in his heart
And with sound he would rise with a start
And look for the Lord to be at his
Like the vision he had had a few before

So he ran to the window hearing a sound
But all he could see on the snow ground
Was a shabby beggar shoes were torn
And all of his were ragged and worn

But Conrad was touched and he went to the
And he said, "You know, your feet must be frozen and
I have some in my shop for you
And a coat that will keep you too"

So with grateful heart the man went
But Conrad the time of day
And wondered made the Lord so late
And how much longer he'd to wait

he heard a knock, he ran to the door
But it was a stranger once more
A bent old lady 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 seemed to "Don't send me away
Let me for awhile on Christmas Day"
So Conrad brewed her a cup
And told her to sit at the and sup

But after she left he was with dismay
For he saw that the were slipping away
And the Lord hadn't come as he he would
And Conrad sure he had misunderstood

When out of the he heard a cry
Please help me and tell me am I?"
So he opened his friendly door
And stood disappointed as before
It was only a child who had wandered
And was lost from her family on Day

Again heart was heavy and sad
But he knew he should make the little girl
So he her in and he wiped her tears
And quieted all her fears

Then he led her back to her home more
But as he entered his own door
He knew the Lord was not today
For the hours of had passed away

So he to his room and knelt down to pray
And he said, "Dear Lord, why did You
kept You from coming to call on me?
For I so much Your face to see

When in the silence a voice he heard
"Lift up your for I kept my word
times my shadow crossed your floor
And three times I came to your door"

"I was the beggar with bruised, feet
And I was the you gave something to eat
I was the on the homeless street
Three times I knocked and three times I in
And each I found the warmth of a friend
Of all the gifts, love is the
And I was to be your Christmas Guest"
