Sing To God is a 1995 album by Cardiacs, their first with drummer Bob Leith. It was released as a limited run of 3000 double album sets, and later as two separate CDs. It is named after a children's hymn book owned by former Cardiacs keyboardist William D. Drake. Tim Smith has stressed the album is not a religious work. As of March 2007, Part One and the double CD edition are out of stock on the "official Cardiacs website".
