''Singing the Living Tradition'' is a hymnal published by the Unitarian Universalist Association. First published in 1993 by the Hymnbook Resources Commission of the UUA, it was meant to be much more inclusive in both gender references, multicultural sources, and a wider number of religious inspirations. According to Jason Shelton,

Singing the Living Tradition was the first standard denominational hymnbook to include songs from Unitarians in Eastern Europe, spirituals from the African American tradition, folk and popular songs, music of major, non-Christian religious traditions, and chants and rounds gathered from the various traditions of the world.

The hymnal succeeded the UUA's first hymnal, '' Hymns for the Celebration of Life'', which had been amended repeatedly in the decades after its initial 1964 publication due to concerns over biased gender language.
