I Wonder As I Wander ==================== w&m: John Jacob Niles, 1934 [Verse 1] I wonder as I wander out under the sky, How Jesus the Savior did come for to die For poor orn'ry people like you and like I; I wonder as I wander out under the sky. [Verse 2] 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, The promise of ages it then did recall. [Verse 3] 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 heav'n for to sing, He surely could have it, 'cause He was the King. [Instrumental Interlude] [Repeat Verse 1] [Coda] I wonder as I wander out under the sky.
