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.

Myst’ry hid from ages now revealed to me

Hope of Glory Christ in Me

English948
1
Myst’ry hid from ages now revealed to me,
’Tis the Christ of God’s reality.
He embodies God, and He is life to me,
And the glory of my hope He’ll be.
 
Glory, glory, Christ is life in me!
Glory, glory, what a hope is He!
Now within my spirit He’s the mystery!
Then the glory He will be to me.
2
In my spirit He regenerated me,
In my soul He’s now transforming me.
He will change my body like unto His own,
Wholly making me the same as He.
3
Now in life and nature He is one with me
Then in Him, the glory, I will be;
I’ll enjoy His presence for eternity
With Him in complete conformity.

I have sung this hymn from my youth. I don’t think I ever realized how profound this mystery is. In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. So Christ was God from eternity past. He was the Fathers very heart, but He was still a mystery. Then in time, about 2000 years ago that mystery became manifested as that man Jesus. Now the Father can reveal this Son to us through the gospel when we believe. Oh how wonderful to know this marvelous mystery. Now He is in our spirit to be experienced by us. Glory, glory, Christ is Life to me. Glory, glory what a hope we! He is living in us and He is one with us. He should never be a mystery to us because we can chose to touch Him in our spirit.

" if we let the Lord live in us and we live by the Lord,
then when people observe us,
they will see the glory of God upon us"
Glory is given by the Lord,
but the degree of glory must be established by us.
