I Wonder As I Wander

I wonder as I wander out under the sky

How Jesus, the Savior, had 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, t'was in a cow's stall

With wisemen and farmers and shepherds and all,

But high in 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 for to sing

He surely could have it, for he was the king!

I wonder as I wander out under the sky

How Jesus, the Savior, had come for to die

For poor on'ry people like you and like I.

I wonder as I wander out under the sky.
