D
It happened one day near December's
end when two neighbors
C
Called on an old friend and they found

his shop so meager an d

Lean made gay with thousand bows

of green and Conrad was
Sitting with faces shining when he sud
D
denly stopped as he
Stitched a twine and he said "Old friends,
it dawned today
As the cock was crowing the night
away the Lord appeared in
C
A dream to me and said
"I'm coming your guest to be."
So I've been busy with feet of stern
A
D
strewing my shop with
A
Branches of fern. The table is spread
and the kettle is shine.
D
And over the rafters the holly
is twine. Now I'll wait for my
G
Lord to appear and listen closely
so I will hear his step as
D
Em
He nears my humble place. And I'll open the
G
Em
Asus4
door and look on His face.
A
So his
Verse 2
friends went home
Asus4
A
and left Conrad alone for this
D
Was the happiest day he had known.
For long since his family had
G
Passed away and Conrad had spent
many a sad Christmas Day.
Em
But he knew with the Lord as his Christ
E
D
mas Guest this Christmas
Em
D
Would be the dearest and best.
Verse 3
A
Asus4
So he listened with only joy
A
in his heart and with
Asus4
A
Every sound he would rise with a start
D
and look for the
Lord to be at his door. Like the vision
he had had a few hours before.
So he ran to the window after hearing
a sound but all he could
C
See on the snow covered ground
was a shabby beggar whose shoes
Were torn and all of his clothes
A
Asus4
were ragged and worn.
A
But Conrad was touched
Verse 4
A
and he went to the door
D
And he said "You know your feet
must be frozen and sore.
I have some shoes in my shop for you
and a coat that will
Keep you warmer too." So with grate
C
ful heart the man went away
But Conrad noticed the time of day
Am
A
and wondered what made the
Lord so late and how much longer he'd
Asus4
D
have to wait.
Verse 5
When he heard a knock he ran
to the door but it was
G
Only a stranger once more. A bent
old lady with a shawl of
Em
D
Black with a bundle of kindling
Em
piled on her back. She asked
Edim
Em
Asus4
For only a place to rest but
A
that was reserved for Conrad's
Asus4
A
Great guest. But her voice seemed
D
to plead "Don't send me away,
G
Let me rest for awhile on Christmas Day",
so Conrad brewed
Her a steaming cup and told her to
Em
set at the table and sup.
E
Verse 6
D
But after she left he was filled with dis
Asus4
may for
A
Asus4
He saw that the hours were slipping away
A
and the Lord hadn't come as
D
He said he would. Then Conrad felt sure he
had misunderstood.
Verse 7
D
When out of of the stillness
he heard a cry "Please
C
Help me and tell me where am I?"
So again he opened his
Friendly door and stood disapoin
D
C
ted as twice before.
A
It was only a child that wandered away
and was lost from
D
Her family on Christmas Day.
Verse 8
Again Conrad's heart was
heavy and sad but he knew
He should make the little girl glad.
So he called her in
C
And he wiped her tears,
D
C
quieted all her childish fears.
Then he led her back to her home once
Asus4
A
more but as he
Entered his own darkened
Asus4
A
D
door he knew the
Lord was not coming today.
Verse 9
D
Well the hours of Christmas had
G
passed away so he
Went to his room and knelt
Em
down to pray and he said
"Dear Lord, why did you delay?
Asus4
What kept you from
A
Asus4
Am
Coming to call on me? For I wanted
D
so much your face to see.
G
" When soft in the silence a voice he heard.
Verse 10
"Lift up your head for I kept my word.
Em
D
Three times my shadow crossed your floor
E
D
And three times I came
Asus4
A
to your lowly door.
I was the beggar with bruised, cold feet
D
And I was the woman you gave
something to eat.
I was the child on the homeless
street.
Three times I knocked,
C
and three times I came in.
And each time I found the warmth
D
C
of a friend.

A
Asus4
Of all the gifts, love is the best.
A
Em
And I was honored to
be your Christmas Guest.
