lirik lagu hannah dasher - the christms guest

it happened one day near december’s end
when two neighbors called on an old friend
and they found his shop, so meager and lean
made merry with a thousand boughs of green

and conrad was sitting with his face a~shine
when suddenly he stopped as he stitched a twine
and said, “old friends, at dawn today
the lord appeared in a dream to me
and said, ‘i’m coming, your guest to be’

so i’ve been busy with feet a~stir
strewing my shop with branches of fir
the table is spread and the kеttle is shined
and, over thе rafters, the holly is twined

now i’ll wait for my lord to appear
and listen closely so i’ll hear
his step as he nears my humble place
i’ll open the door and i’ll look on his face”

so his friends went home and left conrad alone
for this was the happiest day he had known
for, long since, his family had passed away
and conrad had spent many a sad christmas day
but he knew with the lord as his christmas guest
this christmas would be the dearest and best
and he listened with only joy in his heart
and with every sound, he would rise with a start
and looked for the lord to appear at his door
like the vision he’d had just a few hours before

so he ran to the window after hearing a sound
but all he could see on the snow~covered ground
was a shabby beggar whose shoes were torn
and all his clothes were ragged and worn

so conrad was touched, and he went to the door
and he said, “your feet must be frozen and sore
i have some shoes in my shop for you
and a coat that’ll keep you warm, too”

so with a grateful heart, the man went away
though conrad noticed the time of day
and wondered what made the lord so late
and how much longer he’d have to wait

when he heard a knock, he ran to the door
but it was only a stranger once more
a bent old lady with a shawl of black
and a bundle of kindling piled on her back

she asked only for a place to rest
though that was reserved for conrad’s great guest
but her voice seemed to plead, “don’t send me away
let me rest for a while on christmas day”
so conrad brewed her a steaming cup
and told her to sit at the table and sup
but after she left, he was filled with dismay
for he saw that the hours were passing away

and the lord hadn’t come as he said he would
and conrad felt sure he’d misunderstood
when out of the stillness, he heard a cry
“please help me, and tell me where am i?”

so again he opened his lonely door
and stood, disappointed as twice before
for it was only a child who had wandered away
and was lost from her family on christmas day

again, conrad’s heart was heavy and sad
but he knew he should make the little girl glad
so he called her in and wiped her tears
and quieted all her childish fears
and he led her back to her home once more

but as he entered his own darkened door
he knew the lord was not coming
for the hours of christmas had passed away

so he went to his room and he knelt down to pray
and he said, “dear lord, why did you delay?
what kept you from coming to call on me?
for i wanted so much your face to see”
when, soft in the silence, a voice he heard
“lift up your head, for i kept my word
three times my shadow crossed your floor
three times i came to your lonely door

for i was the beggar with bruised, cold feet
and i was the woman you gave something to eat
i was the child on the homeless street

three times i knocked, three times i came in
and each time i found the warmth of a friend
of all the gifts, love is the best
and i was honored to be your christmas guest”
