Look Beyond

"Look Beyond" is a deeply reflective Communion hymn that invites the congregation into the central mystery of the Eucharist. The refrain carries the core message of the sacrament, asking communicants to see past the physical elements of the bread and the cup to recognize the Saviour and His love poured out for us. It is a gentle but profound reminder of what happens at the altar.

During the Communion procession, a song like this helps quiet the mind and focus the heart. The verses draw directly from the Bread of Life discourse, recalling the manna given to the ancestors and Christ’s promise that whoever eats this heavenly bread will never die. Arranged here in solfa notation with a note that the verses can be chanted, it offers the choir director flexibility to lead the piece with a reverent, flowing pace that suits the solemnity of the moment.
