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.

Call on Your Name

Praise of the Lord His Name

Oh my Lord, I really love You
Because You first loved us.
You so loved us that You gave us,
Your only begotten Son to save us all.
Oh my Lord, Your love is divine.
Oh with love, You sacrifice;
Went through the pain, went to the cross,
Shed Your blood that we may have Your salvation, Lord.
Jesus Lord, the Name I love.
With true love, I call Your Name.
’Tis sweet to call, so dear to call.
You are my Lord, my all in all.
Jesus Lord, Hallelujah!
With rejoicing, we praise and call.
Just call Your Name, Amen! Oh Lord!
Oh Jesus Lord, You will come,
Come to us.
