I Wonder As I Wander Lyrics
(arr. by John Jacob Niles)
I wonder as I wander out under the sky
How Jesus the Savior did 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, '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 the ages it then did recall
If Jesus had wanted for any wee thing
A star in the sly (?) or a bird on the wing
Or all of God's angels in heav'n for to sing
He surely could have seen it, 'cause He was the King
I wonder as I wander out under the sky
How Jesus the Savior did come for to die
For poor on'ry people like you and like I
I wonder as I wander out under the sky
How Jesus the Savior did come for to die
For poor on'ry people like you and like I
I wonder as I wander out under the sky
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 the ages it then did recall
A star in the sly (?) or a bird on the wing
Or all of God's angels in heav'n for to sing
He surely could have seen it, 'cause He was the King
How Jesus the Savior did come for to die
For poor on'ry people like you and like I
I wonder as I wander out under the sky

It is a 2 times slower version of "Down In Yon Forrest" and clearer, too. It is a good thing to wonder why the Good does not prevail the way some mighty king might do.
