Written by John Jacob Niles, he first performed “I Wonder as I Wander” in December of 1933. The song was inspired by a folk singer that he heard in the Appalachians of North Carolina. While I’ve sang it at church a few times, it is a lesser known hymn. Happy Holidays!
This was amazing. I don’t know that I have ever heard this in church. My Mom used to sing it and I have not heard it for a very long time. Thank you so much for the great gift.
