Sing Lustily And With Good Courage is an album by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band. It was recorded at Valley Recordings in March 1990 and released as a CD on the Saydisc label.

This is a collection of "Gallery Songs" from the 18th and early 19th centuries. Gallery songs were popular hymns which were purged from hymnals in the late nineteenth centuries. As they generally have strong words and tunes, many are worth reviving. The best known precedent for recording such an album is The Watersons' "Sound, Sound Your Instruments of Joy" (1977).
