I Wonder As I Wander
John Jacob Niles
I wonder as I wander
Out under the sky
How Jesus the Saviour
Did come for to die
For poor on'ry people
Like you and like I
I wonder as I wander
Out under the sky
When Mary birthed Jesus
'Twas in a cow's stall
With wise men and farmers
And shepherds and all
But high from God's heaven
A star's light did fall
And the promise of ages
It then did recall
If Jesus had wanted
For any wee thing
A star in the sky
Or a bird on the wing
Or all of God's angels
In heaven to sing
He surely could have it
'Cause he was the King
