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.

For the glorious revelation

Hope of Glory The Manifestation of the Sons of God

English970
1
For the glorious revelation
Of the sons of God to come,
All the creatures wait, expecting,
That they all may free become.
2
All creation groans together,
Subject now to vanity,
Looking for their full deliv’rance
From corruption’s slavery.
3
Even we ourselves are groaning,
Till we reach maturity;
We are growing into sonship,
With Christ in conformity.
4
’Tis for this the Spirit groaneth,
That to Christ we be conformed;
All things also work together,
That in life we be transformed.
5
God will bring us into glory,
We will then be glorified;
Fully saturated with Him,
We’ll be wholly sanctified.
6
To the freedom of this glory,
All creation will be freed;
With the kid shall lie the leopard,
And the cow with bear shall feed.
7
Heirs with Christ in our full sonship,
We’ll His heritage possess,
Glorified with Him as brethren,
God’s full glory we’ll express.

e. Enjoying the Glory
of the Children of God
with Its Freedom

When the believers are glorified, they will enjoy the glory of the children of God with its freedom. Romans 8:21b speaks of “the freedom of the glory of the children of God. ” All creation aspires to enter into this freedom. Even though the creation will not share the glory, the creation will enter into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.

Due to the fall of Adam, the entire creation is under bondage and corruption. Romans 8:19 through 21a say, “The anxious watching of the creation eagerly expects the revelation of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will also be freed from the slavery of corruption. ” The creation will be freed from the slavery of corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. For this, “the whole creation groans together and travails in pain together until now” (v. 22). The universe is groaning and travailing in birth, awaiting the revelation of the sons of God so that creation may be freed from corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. Although we are sons of God, we are still under a veil. One day this veil will be removed, and that will be our glorification. The sons of God will come out from under the veil and be revealed. Then the whole universe will behold the sons of God in glory and participate in the freedom of this glory. Therefore, we, the believers in Christ, shall be glorified, but the creation will only share in the freedom of that glory, not in the glory itself. In the future we shall enjoy the glory of the children of God with its freedom.
