Luyện nghe bài hát The Christmas Guest

It happened one day near end
Two neighbors called on an old
And they found his shop so meager and
Made gay with thousand bows of

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

So I've been with feet astir
Strewing my shop branches of fern
The table is and the kettle is shined
And over the rafters the is twined

Now I'll wait for my Lord to
And listen so I will hear His step
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 happiest day he had
For since, his family had passed away
And Conrad had spent many a sad Day

But he knew the Lord as his Christmas Guest
This would be the dearest and best
So he listened only joy in his heart
And with every he would rise with a start
And look for the Lord to be at his
the vision 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 and worn

But Conrad was and he went to the door
And he said, "You know, feet must be frozen and sore
I have shoes in my shop for you
And a that will keep you warmer too"

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

When he a knock, he ran to the door
But it was only a stranger once
A bent old lady a shawl of black
a bundle of kindling piled on her back
She asked for only a place to
But was reserved for Conrad's Great Guest

But her voice to plead "Don't send me away
Let me rest for awhile on 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 hours were away
And the Lord hadn't as he said he would
And felt sure he had misunderstood

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

Again Conrad's heart was and sad
But he knew he should make the little glad
So he her in and he wiped her tears
And quieted all her childish

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

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

"I was the beggar with bruised, feet
And I was the woman you something to eat
I was the on the homeless street
times 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"
