I have really enjoyed playing these arrangements by Jay Rouse, they are delicate and beautiful.

Appalachian tune collected by John Jacob Niles, arr. by Jay Rouse

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 heaven to sing 
He surely could have it, ’cause he was the King

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
