I Wonder As I Wander has been among my favorite Christmas songs for years now. Composer John Jacob Niles combined a beautiful melody with pensive lyrics, and today the song is one that stands in sharp contrast to what our culture calls the spirit of the season.

In the midst of voices calling us to hurry and buy, to rush and spend, I Wonder As I Wander invites us to calm ourselves and to contemplate the stillness and the quiet that accompanied Jesus into the world.
