Dec 30 I Wonder as I Wander

1 

I wonder as I wander, out under the sky,

how Jesus the Savior did come for to die

for poor ornery people like you and like I;

I wonder as I wander, out under the sky.

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,

and the promise of ages it did then recall.

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 heaven for to sing,

he surely could have it, for he was the King.

4 

I wonder as I wander, out under the sky,

how Jesus the Savior did come for to die

for poor ordinary people like you and like I;

I wonder as I wander, out under the sky.

JOHN JACOB NILES
