Luyện nghe bài hát The Christmas Guest

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

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

So I've been busy feet astir
Strewing my shop with of fern
The is spread and the kettle is shined
And over the the holly is twined

Now I'll wait for my to appear
And listen closely so I will hear His
As He nears my place.
And I'll the door and look on His face

So his friends went home and Conrad alone
For was the happiest day he had known
For since, his family had passed away
And Conrad had spent many a sad Day

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

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

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

So grateful heart the man went away
But noticed 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 a stranger once more
A bent old lady with a of black
With a of kindling piled on her back
She asked for a place to rest
But that was reserved for Conrad's Great

But her voice to plead "Don't send me away
Let me for awhile on Christmas Day"
So Conrad her a steaming cup
And told her to sit at the and sup

But after she left he was filled dismay
For he saw the hours were slipping away
And the Lord come as he said he would
And Conrad felt he had misunderstood

When out of the he heard a cry
Please help me and me where am I?"
So again he opened his door
And stood as twice before
It was only a who had wandered away
And was lost her family on Christmas Day

Again Conrad's heart was 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 back to her home once
But as he his own darkened door
He knew the Lord was not coming
For the hours of had passed away

So he went to his room and knelt down to
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 soft in the silence a he heard
"Lift up your head for I my word
Three times my crossed your floor
And three times I came to lonely door"

"I was the with bruised, cold feet
And I was the woman you something to eat
I was the child on the street
Three I knocked and three times I came in
And each time I the warmth of a friend
Of all the gifts, love is the
And I was to be your Christmas Guest"
