This setting of Matthew 5:3-12 is classic. In over thirty years of use with this piece, I have never known it to not work or to fall flat. It ALWAYS works and is effective in engaging the congregation as well as the students. I believe it can be said the student never become weary of singing it. The message is so universally relevant that the music practically sings itself. This congregational participation piece is a great addition to any concert or worship service. You owe it to your students to have them sing and memorize this wonder passage of scripture through this lovely, gentle music.
