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 thousand of green

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

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

Now I'll for my Lord 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 had known
For long since, his family had passed
And Conrad had spent a sad Christmas Day

But he knew with the as his Christmas Guest
Christmas would be the dearest and best
So he listened with joy in his heart
And with every sound he would rise 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 after hearing a
But all he could see on the snow ground
Was a shabby beggar whose were torn
And all of his were ragged 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 coat that keep you warmer too"

So with heart the man went away
But Conrad noticed the of day
And wondered made the Lord so late
And how longer he'd have to wait

he heard a knock, he ran to the door
But it was only a once more
A bent old lady with a of black
With a bundle of piled on her back
She asked for a place to rest
But that was reserved for Conrad's Guest

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

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

When out of the stillness he a cry
help me and tell 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 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 more
But as he his own darkened door
He the Lord was not coming today
For the of Christmas had passed away

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

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

"I was the with bruised, cold feet
And I was the woman you something to eat
I was the child on the homeless
Three times I knocked and times I came 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"
