Unlike printed hymnals, Sing Out Love won’t be purchased; it’s available by subscription.Beginning in early August 2025, we’ll offer monthly, annual, and 3-year subscriptions.The fees reflect an ethic of care and responsibility by covering fair and equitable licensingfees for our artists; staff time to maintain and update the hymnal; and hosting/technologyfees. To be equitable, there are three subscription tiers, according to congregation size.
Permission will be granted for ALL of its hymns, including being live streamed in worship and posted on your website or social media channel if your congregation’s subscription is active. These additional permissions apply within the context of worship: to arrange for your bands and choirs (as long as the melody, chords, and/or lyrics are not changed); to share the PDFs and slides during worship… all without the weekly “reporting” typically required in other licensing agreements. To be clear, this hymnal does not permit excerpting and sharing the song from the service or event recording. In other words, you may not post the song by itself anywhere online. It also does not permit songs to be performed in a recital or concert. It does not allow for any resale of any part of the hymnal. It does not allow arrangements that change the melody, chords, or lyrics. If an individual or congregation wishes to use the music in any of the above manners, they must seek permission directly from the copyright holder(s).
Subscriptions may be monthly, yearly, or for 3 years, depending on the plan chosen.
