Hymn: I Wonder as I Wander
Author: Appalachian carol (collected by John Jacob Niles
(Hymn will play in full at the end of the podcast.)
I wonder as I wander, out under the sky;
how Jesus the Saviour did come for to die
for poor ord’n’ry people like you and like I.
I wonder as I wander, out under the sky.
When Mary birthed Jesus, all in a cow’s stall,
came wise men and farmers and shepherds all,
and high from the heavens a star’s light did fall;
the promise of the 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 heav’n for to sing,
he surely could have had it, ’cause he was the king.
I wonder as I wander, out under the sky;
how Jesus the Saviour did come for to die
for poor ord’n’ry people like you and like I.
I wonder as I wander, out under the sky.
