  • Verse 1

    It happened one 
    day near 
    December's 

    end when two 
    neighbors 

    Called on an old 
    friend 
    and they found 

    his shop 
    so meager 
    an

    Lean made gay 
    with thou
    sand bows 

    of green 
    and Conrad 
    was 

    Sitting 
    with faces 
    shining 
    when he sud

    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 

    A dream 
    to me 
    and said 

    "I'm coming your 
    guest to be." 

    So 
    I've been busy 
    with feet of stern 

    strew
    ing my shop 
    with 

    Branches 
    of fern. 
    The table 
    is spread 

    and the kettle 
    is shine. 

    And 
    over the rafters 
    the holly 

    is twine. 
    Now 
    I'll wait for 
    my 

    Lord to 
    appear 
    and listen 
    closely 

    so I will 
    hear his step 
    as 

    He nears my 
    humble place. 
    And 
    I'll open the 

    door 
    and look on His 
    face. 

    So his 
    Verse 2
    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 Christ

    mas Guest 
    this Christmas 

    Would 
    be the dearest 
    and best. 

    Verse 3
    So 
    he 
    listene
    d with only 
    joy 

    in his 
    heart 
    and 
    with 

    Every sound 
    he would 
    rise with 
    a start 

    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 

    See on the snow 
    covered ground 

    was a shabby 
    beggar whose 
    shoes 

    Were 
    torn 
    and all 
    of his clothes 

    were 
    ragged 
    and 
    worn. 

    But 
    Conrad was 
    touched 
    Verse 4

    and 
    he went to the door 

    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

    ful heart 
    the man went 
    away 

    But Conrad 
    noticed 
    the time of 
    day 

    and 
    wondered 
    what 
    made the 

    Lord 
    so late 
    and how much 
    longer he'd 

    have 
    to wait. 

    Verse 5
    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 
    with a bundle 
    of 
    kindling 

    piled on her 
    back. 
    She asked 

    For only 
    a place 
    to 
    rest 
    but 

    that was reserved 
    for Conrad's 

    Great guest. 
    But her voice 
    seemed 

    to plead 
    "Don't send 
    me away, 

    Let 
    me rest for 
    awhile on 
    Christmas 
    Day", 

    so Conrad 
    brewed 

    Her a steaming cup 
    and told her to 

    set at the table 
    and 
    sup. 

    Verse 6
    But after 
    she left 
    he 
    was filled with 
    dis

    may 
    for 

    He saw that the hours 
    were slipping 
    away 

    and the Lord 
    hadn't come 
    as 

    He said he 
    would. 
    Then Conrad 
    felt sure 
    he 

    had misunderstood. 

    Verse 7
    When out of of the stillness 

    he heard 
    a cry 
    "Please 

    Help me 
    and tell me where 
    am I?" 

    So again 
    he opened his 

    Friendly 
    door 
    and stood disapoin

    ted 
    as 
    twice before. 

    It was only 
    a child 
    that wandered away 

    and was lost 
    from 

    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 

    And he wiped her 
    tears, 

    quieted all 
    her 
    childish 
    fears. 

    Then he led 
    her back to 
    her home once 

    more 
    but as 
    he 

    Entered his 
    own darkened 

    door 
    he 
    knew the 

    Lord 
    was not coming 
    today. 

    Verse 9
    Well the 
    hours of Christmas 
    had 

    passed away 
    so 
    he 

    Went to his 
    room and 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. 
    Verse 10


    "Lift 
    up your head 
    for 
    I kept my word. 

    Three times 
    my 
    shadow 
    crossed your floor 

    And 
    three times 
    I came 

    to your lowly 
    door. 

    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, 

    and three times 
    I came in. 

    And each time 
    I found the warmth 

    of 
    friend. 

    Of 
    all the gift
    s, love 
    is the best. 

    And I was honored 
    to 

    be your Christmas 
    Guest.

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
