About Numbered Notation

Numbered Notation (also called Jianpu, 简谱) writes each melody note as a number from 1 to 7 instead of a note on a staff. The number shows the note's position in the song's scale -- not its exact pitch -- so the same tune looks identical no matter what key it's sung in.

Within one octave, the numbers 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 correspond to the familiar do re mi fa sol la ti. A dot above a number raises it an octave higher; a dot below lowers it an octave lower -- no dot means the middle, as-written octave.

A plain number lasts one beat. A dash (-) right after a number holds that same note for one more beat. A line underneath a number shortens it instead -- one line is half a beat, two lines a quarter of a beat. A 0 is a rest: silence for one beat.

The label at the top of the sheet, like "1=C" or "1=Ab", shows which pitch scale degree 1 ("do") is tuned to. A song in a minor key is labeled "6=X" instead -- scale degree 6 ("la") is the true tonic. Chord names printed above the notes (like "C" or "G7") always use their familiar letter names, never numbers.

For example, under a "1=C" heading, the numbers 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 sound as C D E F G A B. Under a "1=G" heading, those very same numbers sound as G A B C D E F# instead -- same shape, different key.

Therefore with joy shall ye draw water

Scriptures for Singing

English1340
 
Therefore with joy shall ye draw water
Out of the wells of salvation.
And in that day shall ye say,
Praise the Lord.
 
Therefore with joy shall ye draw water
Out of the wells of salvation.
And in that day shall ye say,
Praise the Lord.
 
Call upon His name,
Declare His doings among the people,
Make mention that His name is exalted.
Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion:
For great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.

Praise the Lord for such an amazing hymn! This was one of the sister's favorite hymns before she passed away in March 2023. As we sing this in our home meeting, we are reminded of her. The saints of Utah miss you Nicole, but we know you are with the Lord and enjoying him! We will eventually meet again, but for now, we are enjoying the Lord in Utah. For great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.

The way to draw water from the springs of the divine salvation are:

1. We will speak to the Lord, by the Lord, for the Lord, in the Lord, and with the Lord.

2. ⁠We can praise the Lord

3. ⁠We can call on the name of the Lord

4. ⁠We can preach the gospel, making known to others what Christ has accomplished

5. ⁠We will give the first place to Christ in our being and in our doing in our daily living.

These points are also the results from drawing from the springs of salvation daily that will manifest in our daily God-man living!
