The name Sing Out Love continues the lineage of our Unitarian Universalist hymnals: from the UUA’s first hymnal, Hymns for the Celebration of Life, to the more familiar Singing the Living Tradition, Singing the Journey, and Las voces del camino, Sing Out Love orients us to this moment in the unfolding story of our faith.

About Sing Out Love

As a virtual hymnal, this resource is shaped and guided by our call to offer:

  • A living collection of song resources.
  • An accessible, equitable, online platform.
  • Grounding in our UU values.
  • An invitation to helps Unitarian Universalism live into our prophetic calling as a joyful, liberatory, and anti-oppressive faith.

Because Sing Out Love is an online resource, it’s also an ever-changing one: New hymns and resources are added every month, expanding the ways we sing our faith. This twenty-first century medium reflects the reality that Unitarian Universalist the@logies have evolved over the course of our history, and so have our practices of Unitarian Universalism.
