I wonder as I wander out under the sky,

How Jesus, the Saviour, did come for to die.

For poor, ornery people like you and like I

I wonder as I wander

Out under the sky.



When Mary birthed Jesus, 'twas in a cows' 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 did then 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 had it,

'Cause He was the King!



I wonder as I wander out under the sky,

How Jesus, the Saviour, did come for to die.

For poor, ornery people like you and like I

I wonder as I wander

Out under the sky.
