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 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 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.
