 Preface

THOUGH THE PAGES of this hymnbook are being bound in the twentieth
century, they will open into the twenty-first. That realization permeated our
work, for these will be simultaneously the last words of one era and the first
words of the next. We remember the phrase of our predecessors: “Religion is
a present reality; it is also an inheritance.” Or to use a more current expres-
sion, a living faith must have both roots and wings. A hymnbook is one place
where we find both.
Our living tradition began the twentieth century primarily as a liberal
Christianity among Universalists and Unitarians, and ends that same century
also embracing the riches of humanism, feminism, mysticism, natural the-
ism, the Jewish tradition, many other world faith traditions, and the skepti-
cism generated by this century’s disillusioning woes and wars.
Within this thicket of diversity and doubt, the Hymnbook Resources Com-
mission, with the help of many, sought to express the center and edges of our
living tradition. We found a wealth of music and poetry, wisdom and beauty,
from which we made a good and useful selection. |
We knew very early that no single criterion could determine what materials
should fill this book. Differing understandings of taste and relevance exist
throughout the Unitarian Universalist Association and shall continue to do
so. Governed by our charge to produce an inclusive hymnbook, we took the
Principles and Purposes of our Association as the touchstones of our decision
to proclaim our diversity. In structuring and indexing the book, we used as
guides the five sources of our living tradition and seven principles. Inspired
by various liberation philosophies, cross-cultural perspectives, and ecological
awareness, we sought to express a full range of spiritual imagery. Most nota-
ble is our use of feminine imagery for the divine. We applied similar inclusive
insights to carols and some familiar hymns so that our tradition is not merely
received. Each selection has its place within the wide embrace of our heritage
and vision.
Fully a third of the book is the work of Canadian and American Unitarian
Universalists, present and past. But in this age of global awareness, we felt it
imperative to reach out to other Unitarian Universalist traditions worldwide,
and have included works from Nigeria, the Philippines, India, England, Tran-
sylvania, and Czechoslovakia. Music and texts from six continents are here,
and words from the world’s sacred writings. In selecting passages from the
Bible we elected to use several versions to better engage the diversity of
modern minds and hearts.
To help us in the difficult process of selection, we sang through each hymn
and song many times and tested some of these in our congregations. Some
hymns were obvious choices, some were elusive, and some we debated for
years. We expect that some will require more thorough teaching than others.
We encourage our congregations not to avoid the less familiar but richly
rewarding works. A companion volume containing notes about the music and
texts, suggestions on usage, and a pronunciation guide will be available.
During our five years we considered thousands of submissions. We engaged
many to help research, evaluate, and edit. New works from a variety of
authors and composers provided us with fresh expressions of faith not found
in any other hymnbook. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to these gifted
people.
The coming decades will undoubtedly bring new challenge and change and
not a little surprise. We offer this book in the hope that its spirit, in word
and song, will empower us to sing our Living Tradition in the twenty-first
century.

Singing the Living Tradition
 WE, THE MEMBER CONGREGATIONS OF THE
UNITARIAN UNIVERSALIST ASSOCIATION,
COVENANT TO AFFIRM AND PROMOTE:
The inherent worth and dignity of every person;
Justice, equity, and compassion in human relations;
Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth
in our congregations;
A free and responsible search for truth and meaning;
The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process
within our congregations and in society at large;
The goal of world community with peace, liberty,
and justice for all,
Respect for the interdependent web of all existence
of which we are a part.

THE LIVING TRADITION WE SHARE DRAWS FROM MANY SOURCES:

Direct experience of that transcending mystery and wonder,

affirmed in all cultures, which moves us to a renewal of the spirit
and an openness to the forces that create and uphold life;
Words and deeds of prophetic women and men which challenge us
to confront powers and structures of evil with justice, compassion,
and the transforming power of love;
Wisdom from the world’s religions which inspires us
in our ethical and spiritual life;
Jewish and Christian teachings which call us to respond to God’s love
by loving our neighbors as ourselves;
Humanist teachings which counsel us to heed the guidance of reason
and the results of science, and warn us against
idolatries of the mind and spirit.

Grateful for the religious pluralism which enriches and ennobles our faith,
we are inspired to deepen our understanding and expand our vision. As free
congregations we enter into this covenant, promising to one another our
mutual trust and support.
The Unitarian Universalist Association shall devote its resources to and ex-
ercise its corporate powers for religious, educational, and humanitarian pur-
poses. The primary purpose of the Association is to serve the needs of its
member congregations, organize new congregations, extend and strengthen
Unitarian Universalist institutions, and implement its principles.

Adopted as a Bylaw by the 1984 and 1985 General Assemblies

Please note: Much of Singing the Living Tradition is the work of Unitarian
Universalists, present and past. They are identified in the Singing the Living
Tradition Large Print Edition with a chalice e next to the credits appearing
at the foot of each hymn.
