Luyện nghe bài hát The Absentee

"Someone is absent," the said
As my classbook he bent his head
"For Sundays absent too
So tell me teacher did you do?"

"I didn't as perhaps I should
I some cards but they did no good
I never heard and she came
So I decided to her name"

He answered gravely, "The fault was
Hundred, no, were ninety nine
One was and dark and cold
I sought that that had left the fold

The path was and edged with thorns
My were wounded bruised and torn
I on searching not counting the cost
And when I found the lost"

Thus spoke the in tender tones
"I and lo, I was all alone
But God, a vision, had to me
To show his towards the absentee"
