Songs in Rise Up Singing that could be useful in UU worship services. This page is no longer updated; if it were, I’d be putting in songs from the more recent companion book Rise Again.

This is by no means a comprehensive list, and does not include songs that are already included in the current UU hymnal, Singing the Living Tradition — those songs are listed here.
