I Wonder As I Wander lyrics

I Wonder as I Wander (Words & Music John Jacob Niles)

I wonder as I wander out under the sky
How Jesus the Saviour did come for to die
For poor on'ry people like you and like I;
I wonder as I wander out under the sky
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/j/joan_baez/i_wonder_as_i_wander.html ]
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 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 to sing
He surely could have it, 'cause he was the King
