I Wonder As I Wander

Performed by Sister Marsaia Kaster and Sarah Gardner, Postulant. Recorded at St. Clement Parish, Sheboygan WI. The lyrics of this beloved hymn are well illustrated by the stunning windows of St. Clement. The windows came from the Meyer of Munich studios, installed after the dedication (1917).

“I Wonder As I Wander” will produce a variety of images and moods to the listener.  Jesus came for everyone and especially “onry (ordinary) people.”  In humility He was born in a stable and yet worshipped by poor shepherds as well as wealthy wise men.

The minor key and simple accompaniment can move us to question our response to Jesus, our Savior and King. In this rendition the Church setting with stained glass windows sets a mood that will be unique to each of us.

The words and music of this haunting Christmas song are attributed to John Jacob Niles.  He claimed he composed this plaintive carol after hearing a young  girl in Appalachia sing a folk song in a similar mood.
I Wonder As I Wander through each day…
