I Wonder As I Wander
Carola Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
out under the sky
how Jesus the savior
did come for to die
to save lowly people
like you and like I
I wonder as I wander
out under the sky
When Jesus was born
it was in a cow's stall
with shepherds and wise men
and angels and all
the blessings of Christmas
from heaven did fall
and the weary world woke
to the savior's call
I wonder as I wander
out under the sky
how Jesus the savior
did come for to die
to save lowly people
like you and like I
I wonder as I wander
out under the sky
The song "I Wonder as I Wander" by Carola is a contemplative Christmas song that reflects on the birth and death of Jesus Christ. The lyrics describe the singer's thoughts and wonderment as she wanders under the sky, pondering how Jesus came to earth to die and save people. The first verse expresses the singer's amazement at the sacrifice Jesus made to save people like her. The second verse describes the humble circumstances of Jesus' birth in a stable, with shepherds, wise men, and angels present. The singer reflects on the blessings of Christmas and how the world woke up to the savior's call.
The song's introspective and evocative lyrics have made it a popular choice for Christmas performances and recordings. The melody is based on a traditional Appalachian folk tune that was collected by the composer and folklorist John Jacob Niles in North Carolina in 1933. Niles heard the song performed by a young, impoverished girl who was singing for coins in a church. He was so moved by the girl's performance that he asked her to sing the song again and recorded it in his notebook. He later adapted the melody and lyrics and published them in a songbook in 1934.
