I Wonder As I Wander

I Wonder As I Wander is an Appalachian Christmas carol

History

Sources differ as to the early history of the carol, although its collection is attributed to folk singer, John Jacob Niles. He composed the piece in 1933, influenced by three lines of a folk song sung to him by a girl while working as a surveyor in Appalachia.

A notable choral arrangement by Carl Rutti has been performed at A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols.

Text

Chorus

I wonder as I wander out under the sky,

How Jesus the savior did come fore to die,

For poor lowly people like you and like I,

I wonder as I wander, ... out under the sky;

Verse 1

When Mary birthed Jesus 'twas in a cow stall,

With wise men and farmers and shepherds and all,

And high from the Heavens a star's light did fall,

And the promise of the ages, ... It then did recall;

Chorus

Verse 2

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 had it... 'cause he was the King

Chorus
