Sacred Music Content was a volunteer project active between 2011 and 2021 that allowed volunteers to help digitize and prepare content to be published in the Sacred Music app and other official Church channels.

The original purpose of the project was to make English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese hymns and children's songs available in the Sacred Music app (previously LDS Music), which was itself a volunteer project. Since that time, volunteers have digitized thousands of songs in dozens of languages. Music transcribed by volunteers has been published in Sacred Music, Gospel Library, and the Church music website, and more music will be published in the future.
After nearly a decade of volunteer contributions, as of December 2021, the project is now closed to volunteers. This was prompted in part by a need to move music content to a more central content management system, which is only accessible to Church employees.
The primary purposes of the Sacred Music Content project have been accomplished and goals have been surpassed.
