Het Is Een Wonder (English translation: "It Is A Wonder") was the Dutch entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1981, performed in Dutch by Linda Williams.
The song is a ballad, with Williams singing about the effect that meeting her lover has had on her. She explains that she had not previously experienced happiness, but now she is surrounded by it.
The song was performed eleventh on the night (following Spain's Bacchelli with Y Sólo Tú and preceding Ireland's Sheeba with Horoscopes). At the close of voting, it had received 51 points, placing 9th in a field of 20.
It was succeeded as Dutch representative at the 1982 Contest by Bill van Dijk with Jij En Ik.
