"I Wonder As I Wander" lyrics

I Wonder As I Wander

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
It was 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 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
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
