Tune for hymn "I feel the winds of God today"

This hymn is usually sung to Ralph Vaughan Williams' tune "Kingsfold". However, I remember singing it to an old Scottish tune which I remember, but whose name I have forgotten. Any help in finding the name or a recording of the hymn to that tune would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Charles

Check out Youtube from the Strathroy United Church on June 3 2012 and you will hear I Feel the Winds of God Today by their choir.

The Strathroy video is the wrong tune, Kingsfold, not the Scottish one. I don't know the name of it chaslevy but I can sing it in my sleep as it was the school hymn for St Denis & Cranley, Edinburgh. I keep looking but like you, always find the Kingsfold version not the Scottish one. The Church of Scotland hymnbook should have the name of the tune, but sadly I don't have one.

Was the Scottish tune you were thinking of called Landas?

'I feel the winds of God today' was our school hymn at St Denis & Cranley School, Edinburgh, sung with great spirit to the tune Petersham.

The Hymnary.org site suggest 3 tunes for "I Feel the Winds of God Today" - Kingsfold, Landas (Mount Vernon), and a Norwegian folk tune
if you go to this link: https://hymnary.org/search?qu=textAuthN ... gInstances
you should find an entry that gives the 3 possibilities
or just go to Hymnary.org and put in that first line I feel the winds of God today
The Norse version played on piano is not quite skippy enough but a lot closer to what I remember
Hope that helps
We sung it at a Quaker School in New Zealand NZ Friends School (long closed now) out of a green Presbyterian song book. It is the only hymn I loved enough to still sing.
