This is the Song Index for Singing the Journey a Unitarian Universalist hymnal to supplement Singing the Living Tradition.
Both hymnals available from the UU bookstore: www.uua.org
I was not able to find an index anywhere online, so I compiled one. This is a work in progress. For some, I’ve put links to recordings of these hymns where you can hear the music. If you have notes to add, or links to recordings, please suggest those in the comments. Other UU Hymn resources at the bottom of the list.

More sources of info for UU Hymns
https://sites.google.com/a/uucrt.org/main/board-and-committees/arts/hymns-in-singing-the-living-tradition has a list of all the hymns in Living Tradition hymnal, with notes on how “singable” they are, and links to videos, recordings and words for some hymns.
Notes from the Far Fringe, http://farfringe.com/hymn-by-hymn-introduction/, has blog posts with her reflections on every single hymn. She includes lyrics for many hymns, which is hugely helpful, if like us, you project them on the wall for services. Being able to copy and paste what she typed up will save us a lot of effort in transcribing. (Copyright reminder: you should only project lyrics if you also own the hymnal. Learn more.)
A list of “folk-ish” tunes that appear in the two hymnals is at www.danielharper.org/blog/?page_id=1311, with notes on which hymns also appear in Rise Up Singing. (Rise Up Singing songbook includes guitar chords).
www.mluuc.org/mluuc2/hymnal/hymns1.php – another index of hymns in Living Tradition, includes links to words and videos for many
