about

folksong arrangement by Benjamin Britten
words and melody collected by John Jacob Niles
(from Songs of the Hill Folk)

lyrics

I wonder as I wander out under the sky
How Jesus our Saviour did come for to die
For poor or’n’ry people like you and like I,
I wonder as I wander out under the sky.

When Mary birthed Jesus ‘twas in a cow stall
With wise men and shepherds and farmers and all,
On high from god’s heaven the stars’ light did fall
And the promise of the 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 Heav’n for to sing,
He surely could’ve had it for he was the King!

I wonder as I wander out under the sky
How Jesus our Saviour did come for to die
For poor or’n’ry people like you and like I,
I wonder as I wander out under the sky.
