I Wonder As I Wander

Well, there it is. The song sung by the poor, tattered girl who was wandering the streets of North Carolina. Our winning streak has ended here but do not despair--let's keep trying for more winners. Here's Clue #5:

  • This carol was originally written by Charles Wesley in 1737
  • The main phrase was ".....how the welkin rings"
  • When published by George Whitefield, he misquoted the Scripture, referring to angels singing (nowhere in the Bible did angels sing--it was the heavenly hosts)
  • The melody was written to honor the man who first printed the Bible (Gutenberg)

Isn't it Hark the Herald Angels Sing? Interesting that Ed mentions this song on his Jubal's Jotting site as well!
