Über die Zahlennotation

Die Zahlennotation (auch Jianpu oder 简谱 genannt) schreibt jede Melodienote als Zahl von 1 bis 7 statt als Note auf einem Notensystem. Die Zahl zeigt die Stellung der Note in der Tonleiter des Liedes -- nicht ihre genaue Tonhöhe --, sodass dieselbe Melodie unabhängig von der gesungenen Tonart gleich aussieht.

Innerhalb einer Oktave entsprechen die Zahlen 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 den bekannten Solmisationssilben Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Ti. Ein Punkt über einer Zahl hebt sie um eine Oktave an; ein Punkt darunter senkt sie um eine Oktave ab -- ohne Punkt bleibt es bei der mittleren, so geschriebenen Oktave.

Eine einzelne Zahl dauert einen Schlag. Ein Bindestrich (-) direkt nach einer Zahl hält dieselbe Note einen weiteren Schlag lang. Ein Strich unter einer Zahl verkürzt sie dagegen -- ein Strich ist ein halber Schlag, zwei Striche ein viertel Schlag. Eine 0 ist eine Pause: ein Schlag Stille.

Die Angabe oben auf dem Notenblatt, zum Beispiel "1=C" oder "1=Ab", zeigt, auf welcher Tonhöhe die Stufe 1 ("Do") liegt. Ein Lied in Moll trägt stattdessen die Angabe "6=X" -- Stufe 6 ("La") ist dann der eigentliche Grundton. Akkordsymbole über den Noten (wie "C" oder "G7") werden immer mit ihren gewohnten Buchstabennamen geschrieben, nie als Zahlen.

Bei der Angabe "1=C" klingen die Zahlen 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 als C D E F G A B. Bei "1=G" klingen dieselben Zahlen dagegen als G A B C D E F# -- gleiche Form, andere Tonart.

There is life for a look at the Crucified One

Gospel Persuasion

English1035
1
There is life for a look at the Crucified One,
There is life at this moment for thee;
Then look, sinner, look unto Him and be saved,
Unto Him who was nailed to the tree.
 
Look! look! look and live!
There is life for a look at the Crucified One,
There is life at this moment for thee.
2
Oh, why was He there as the Bearer of sin,
If on Jesus thy guilt was not laid?
Oh, why from His side flowed the sin-cleansing blood,
If His dying thy debt has not paid?
3
It is not thy tears of repentance or prayers,
But the blood, that redeemeth the soul;
On Him, then, who shed it, thou mayest at once
Thy weight of iniquities roll.
4
Then doubt not thy welcome, since God has declared
There remaineth no more to be done;
That once in the end of the world He appeared,
And completed the work He begun.
5
Then take with rejoicing from Jesus at once
The life everlasting He gives;
And know with assurance, thou never canst die
Since Jesus, thy Righteousness, lives.

Amelia Matilda Hull, the author of “I have been at the Altar, ” was not a prolific writer, but she wrote at least one hymn, which from the very beginning took prominent place among the Gospel songs of last half of the 19C. Her name might have never been remembered had it not been for this one composition of this writer:

There is a life for a look at the Crucified One,
There is life at this moment for Thee;
Then look, sinner, look unto Him and be saved,
Unto Him who is nailed to the tree.

Miss Hull was born at Marpool Hull, Exmouth in 1825, and was sister to Captain Hull, a notable figure in the early days of the Brethren. She lived a life of devotion, self-sacrifice and wholeheartedness in the cause of Christ, and passed away into the presence of the Lord in 1882.

Here is another:

THE PEACE CRY.
(By the late Miss MATILDA HULL, Author of "There is
life for a Look."
IN grace God has sent us
A message of Peace,
From the kingdom of Satan
To give us release;
And its claim for acceptance,
Not daring to doubt,
We disclaim other efforts
To bring it about
No "brass band" or "War Cry"
Will add to its force;
No "Councils of War"
Give success to its course.
But the preaching of Jesus
Develops God's might,
In translating lost sinners
From darkness to light
Then exalt Him, exalt Him,
Make Christ all in all,
And before Him you'll find
How the Dagons will fall;
Proving all other Gospels
A pitiful sham
Of the Peace-speaking one
Through the blood of the Lamb.
By which is accomplished
The thirst of His heart,
In that Council of Peace
Where the Godhead took part,
To win for His glory
A perfected Bride,
Whom He would make worthy
To sit by His side..

Miss Amelia Matilda Hull (1812-1884) was the last of 11 children. Her father was a retired army captain. - hymntime

Born at Marpool Hall, in Exmouth, England, she wrote many hymns and poems which were published in 6 collections. She is considered to be one of the chief women among the Brethren. - Songs of the Spirit by Martin

-----------------

The song arrangement here is the most common one. There are some additional stanzas:

2 His anguish of soul on the cross hast thou seen?
His cry of distress hast thou heard?
Then why, if the terrors of wrath He endured,
Should pardon to thee be deferred?
---------------

3 We are healed by His stripes. Wouldst thou add to the word?

And He is our righteousness made;
The best robe of heaven He bids thee put on:
Oh! couldst thou be better arrayed?
----------------------------
an additional final stanza:
6 There is life in a look at the crucified One:
There is life at this moment for thee:
Then look, sinner—look unto Him and be saved,
And know thyself spotless as He.

Every verse, every line, an invitation to accept Christ. So doubt not the welcome. God is speaking through the words of this song.
