About "Look and Live!"
This sheet brings together two classic hymns of invitation and salvation, often sung during revivals or as reflective pieces during worship. "Look and Live!" brings a bright, rhythmic energy to the choir loft, anchored by its joyful, repeating "Hallelujah!" phrases. It serves as an uplifting call to faith, reminding the congregation of the simple, profound message to look to Christ. The chorus builds a sense of urgency and joy, making it a wonderful choice for a recessional or a lively gathering song.
Following it is "Calling Now," a much softer, more reflective piece. Where the first song shouts with joy, this second hymn speaks quietly of a "loving Saviour" waiting patiently. Together, they offer a beautiful contrast for a choir to sing—moving from a bold proclamation of faith to a tender, personal invitation to come home. The straightforward solfa notation makes both pieces highly accessible for four-part harmony singing.
