The music currently playing is Kingsfold, an English and Irish traditional melody. It became popular as a hymn tune after it was arranged by the well known British composer Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958). Vaughan Williams named the tune Kingsfold after the village in Surrey, England, where he heard a variation of the melody. Kingsfold has been paired with many hymn texts, including I feel the winds of God, written by Jessie Adams, (1863-1954), an English Quaker, in 1907. The text came as a result of continuing failure she was experiencing in a certain piece of work. Originally in two stanzas, a third was added later.
