I Wonder As I Wander
John Jacob Niles
I wonder as I wander
Out under the sky
How Jesus the Savior
Did come for to die
For poor lonely people
Like you and like I
I wonder as I wander
Out under the sky
I wonder as I wander
Out under the sky
When Mary birthed Jesus
'Twas in a cow's stall
With wise men and cattle
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 Heavеn for to sing
He surely could have it
For Hе was the King
O come let us adore Him
I wonder as I wander
Out under the sky
How Jesus the Savior
Did come for to die
For poor lonely people
Like you and like I
I wonder as I wander
Out under the sky
I wonder as I wander
Out under the sky
