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
When Mary birthed Jesus, 'twas in a cow's 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 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 Heav'n for to sing
He surely could have it, for he was the King
There's a star in the east on Christmas morn
Rise up, shepherd an' follow
It'll lead to the place where the saviour's born
Rise up, shepherd an' follow
Leave your sheep and leave your lambs
Leave your ewes and leave your rams
Follow the star of Bethlehem
Rise up, shepherd an' follow
How brightly shines the morning star
How pure a presence from afar
It fills our hearts with yearning
A radiance pierces through our night
And fills our darkened world with light
It sings of hope returning
Jesu, Jesu
Fill our hearts
With truth and beauty
Lead us this day
Shine thy light
And show us thy way
