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 Conrad was sitting with a-shine
he suddenly stopped as he stitched a twine
And he said "Old friends, at today,
When the was crowing the night away
The Lord appeared in a to me
And "I'm coming your guest to be."
So I've been busy feet astir
Strewing my with branches of fern.
The table is and the kettle is shined.
And the rafters the holly is twined.
Now I'll for my Lord to appear
And closely so I will hear
His step as He nears my place.
And open the door and look on His face.
So his friends went home and left alone
For was the happiest day he had known,
For long since, his family had away
And Conrad had spent many a sad Day.
But he with the Lord as his Christmas Guest
Christmas would be the dearest and best.
So he with only joy in his heart
And with every sound he would with a start
And look for the to be at his door.
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 to the door
And he said, "You know, feet must be frozen and sore.
I some shoes in my shop for you
And a that will keep you warmer too."
So with grateful heart the man away
but Conrad the time of day
And what 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 only a once more.
A bent old with a shawl of black
With a of kindling piled on her back.
She asked for only a to rest
But that was reserved for Conrad's 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 filled with
For he saw that the hours slipping away
And the Lord come as he said he would.
Then Conrad felt he had misunderstood.
When out of the stillness he a cry
"Please help me and tell me am I?"
So again he opened his door
And stood disappointed as before.
It was only a child who'd wandered
And was lost from her family on Day.
Conrad's heart was heavy and sad
But he knew he should make the little glad.
So he called her in and he wiped her
And all her childish fears.
he led her back to her home once more
But as he his own darkened door
he the Lord was not coming today.
For the hours of Christmas had away
So he went to his room and knelt down to
And he "Dear Lord, why did you delay?
What kept you from to call on me?
For I wanted so much face to see."
soft in the silence a voice he heard.
"Lift up your for I kept my word.
Three times my shadow crossed floor
And times I came to your lonely door.
I was the beggar with bruised, feet
And I was the you gave something to eat.
I was the child on the street.
Three I knocked, and three times I came in.
And time I found the warmth of a friend.
Of all the gifts, is the best.
And I was honored to be Christmas Guest.
