Baez, Joan - I Wonder As I Wander Lyrics
I wonder as I wander out under the sky
How Jesus the Saviour did come for to die
For poor on'ry people like you and like I;
I wonder as I wander out under the sky
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 heaven to sing
He surely could have it, 'cause he was the King

Baez, Joan I Wonder As I Wander Comments
Probably my favourite rendition of this song
Theres a lot of people who's being brazen about not being a christian. As there is people who are proud to publically deny Christ, there are those who will be brazen enough to confess him.
Even though i will listen to a woman's voice before a man's voice, & this is no exception: however, even though she did a darn good job, some of the notes did'nt match the patterns of others who sung the same song. In my opinion, she was being a little untraditional.
There's really no such thing as a "traditionally sung" folk song. They were always regional variations and variations from singer to singer, no matter what the century.
Different strokes for different folks....You either love her or you dont....It 's like finger nails on the chalk board.
Wonderful visuals with a classic sons sung by a woman divinely called
.
Yes Magnificent, And she was just a young girl at the time of this recording ......all the Renaissance instruments make it very special , it's still my favorite Christmas album ( and I'm not a Christian ) . When doing a fairly recent interview, Joan was asked, "what new folk singers do you find promising ? " and she replied,". Oh I don't know , I listen to mostly Opera and classical now , I'm sorry . "
This album was a staple of my childhood Christmases. One of the very best every recorded. Joan's voice is magnificent and brings such brilliance to these carols. Never tire of it.
Me, too, only I was an adult when it came out.
How come I am 45 years old and I'm just finding out Joan had a Christmas album? Why is that more well known? I have Barbra Striesand's Christmas album but not this? This is beautiful.
I came to the same realization !
winogirlll
Me, too. At 61!
I just discovered this recently. Thank you for posting and thank you Jesus for doing this for us.
Eric Geddes, you said it brother. And thank you for thanking Jesus!
A folk song of Appalachia emanating from a very poor young girl in the early 30s.
Just beautifully simple.... Thanks...
I tear up every time I hear it.
the moi channel, is'nt joy a wonderful thing?

I grew up with the 8-track for this album , course the track order was different
This is my favorite Christmas song.
This video is at least amongst the very best videos made for Youtube that I have ever seen.
+Evan Keith true :)
Love the images you used with this. Very well thought out.
this.has.been.edited. there is a beautiful aria in the middle of the arrangement that has been deleted. WHY? i have both vinyl and cd versions of this, and i am sorely disappointed.
is it the nice song
Thank you for posting this classic directly from vinyl! It's been in our family since it first came out in 1966. I bought the CD about 15 years ago, and the sound quality is so much better from the original record.
What a pairing; Baez in her prime, and Schiekel !!!
this song is absolutely beautiful. This is always my favorite song to listen to during the holidays. You do not need to be christian to see the beauty in this song.
rodawg8 , but it certainly helps to be a Christian.
beautiful song
@Baez971 Thank you for the correction of dates.
not 1980's, but 1960's
