Sacred Music - Hymns & devotionals

Improved Searching and Filtering

It's now easier to find music you’re looking for in the Android version. A topical index helps you search for music on a specific topic. The revamped search function includes a full-text search engine and various options for filtering.

Playlist Functions

New playlist functions help you compile, manage and share playlists from various albums. You can also download and easily manage music for offline listening.

User-Friendly Navigation

Easily switch between various audio options and between views of sheet music and lyrics. Use additional options in Settings to select a language, adjust for dark mode and choose the font style of lyrics.

Share and Print Capabilities for Sheet Music

In the iOS version, resize sheet music or select a PDF version that can easily be shared through digital tools or printed. This makes it easy for ward and stake choir directors to distribute music for free from the Church Music Library.

While all music content in the Sacred Music app may be considered for use at home and at church, music selections for sacrament meeting should be approved by local leadership.

Music selected for choirs and special musical numbers should be at an appropriate skill level for those involved in the musical number.
