Luyện nghe bài hát The Christmas Guest

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

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

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

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

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

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

So he ran to the after hearing a sound
But all he see on the snow covered ground
Was a shabby beggar whose shoes 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 some shoes in my shop for you
And a coat will keep you warmer too"

So with grateful the man went away
But Conrad noticed the of day
And wondered what made the so late
And how much he'd have to wait

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

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

But after she left he was filled dismay
For he saw that the hours were slipping
And the hadn't come as he said he would
And felt sure he had misunderstood

out of the stillness he heard a cry
Please help me and me where am I?"
So again he his friendly door
And disappointed as twice before
It was only a child who had away
And was from her family on Christmas Day

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

he led her back to her home once more
But as he entered his own darkened
He knew the was not coming today
For the hours of Christmas had passed

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

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

"I was the beggar bruised, cold feet
And I was the woman you gave to eat
I was the child on the homeless
Three times I 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 honored to be Christmas Guest"
