wonderful song and I am PRAYERFUL for D. Haas....and all involved.....I am a retired Baptist pastor who during my service in upstate NY was lucky to have been befriended by a RCC leader..... the late Monsignor Peter Owens who was serving a parish in Johnson City NY....we served together in the local Council of Churches...this was the lead song for his funeral mass....I know I will see him again in HEAVEN....I so appreciate his influence over me...Truly he was a man of GOD

[@bernardbooysen2072]

Bless you Pastor....

I went to mass this Saturday and they used the wrong powerpoint so the words to the song weren't there yet everyone knew the lyrics. That's how you know this song is in the top charts within the catholic church.

Very beautiful to see all these young men and women sing and glorify God in the way!! Blessings to them.

[@Rebecker]

Thank you for posting and sharing this. This song in particular is so bitter sweet for me, because it has always been a favorite and a comfort to me, but it has also been sung and played at the funerals of so many people that I have loved and lost. Every time I hear it, I think of them, but it reminds me that sadness and suffering doesn't have to be a net negative, and that even in despair you can find hope. This is a beautiful rendition of Blest Are They.

@@nicholasstellhorn9734 Unless you come to a Mass where David Haas' music is still being used nowadays.

[@drumminfool91]

I think eliminating the art that Haas produced is so wrong. Its beautiful and a staple of Catholic music for the last several decades. Yes the man is a sinner and every penny of the royalties should go to victims, but can you imagine if we banned art produced by sinful artists from the Church, regardless of the truth, goodness and beauty that may be reflected in the art itself??? Our churches would be barren. You’d have to pretty much tear down all of St. Peter’s and much of Vatican City.

This is my all-time favorite hymn. This choir is awesome. The first that can be heard clearly with the lyrics to the song. I love the repeat at the end and the female's voice going up an octave as it comes to a close. This is the most beautiful version of BLEST ARE THEY that I have ever heard. I want this played at my funeral, and so it it shall be. This version. I downloaded it and now have it on my funeral song list.

[@glcanon]

Flew into Houston summer of '18 and saw that this choir was on final stop of their tour, performing in The Woodlands, so I drove north instead of home. Glad I did. Tremendous concert. At the end they invited alumni in the audience to come on stage with them and sing the Alma Mater. Could barely make it thru for the tears in my eyes. Their version of "HERE I AM LORD" is also great: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZWrpKKsbs-CitE

This is not "old" by far, neither is this how Mass should be celebrated. We should be using Gregorian chant, Anglican chant, Polyphony, Hymns, and Anglican music.

[@gsaldana22]

Does psalm 150 not state: "Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre, praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe, praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals."? Whatsoever you do, do it for the glory of God. No matter if they choose to use many instruments.

[@StevenRabanal1997]

Gabriel Saldana I didn't say we couldn't use many instruments. I said that this particular song is not "old" and that we should use even OLDER music, even if we have more instruments, such as trumpets to accompany a hymn.

[@gsaldana22]

Understood. I enjoy the music no matter the era. Some songs are newer and come along as composers write new music. I even enjoy some of the new hymns even more because the composers use wonderfully written chord changes and melody variation. To each his own, though.
