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.

If I gained the world, but lost the Savior

Gospel General

English1079
1
If I gained the world, but lost the Savior,
Were my life worth living for a day?
Could my yearning heart find rest and comfort
In the things that soon must pass away?
If I gained the world, but lost the Savior,
Would my gain be worth the lifelong strife?
Are all earthly pleasures worth comparing
For a moment with a Christ-filled life?
2
Had I wealth and love in fullest measure,
And a name revered both far and near,
Yet no hope beyond, no harbor waiting,
Where my storm-tossed vessel I could steer;
If I gained the world, but lost the Savior,
Who endured the cross and died for me,
Could then all the world afford a refuge,
Whither, in my anguish, I might flee?
3
O what emptiness!—without the Savior
’Mid the sins and sorrows here below!
And eternity, how dark without Him!
Only night and tears and endless woe!
What, though I might live without the Savior,
When I come to die, how would it be?
O to face the valley’s gloom without Him!
And without Him all eternity!
4
O the joy of having all in Jesus!
What a balm the broken heart to heal!
Ne’er a sin so great, but He’ll forgive it,
Nor a sorrow that He does not feel!
If I have but Jesus, only Jesus,
Nothing else in all the world beside—
O then everything is mine in Jesus;
For my needs and more He will provide.

From the first time I sang this song at a funeral in the Philipines in 1975, this song has helped me to stay focused on what is really important in life. The Lord's path is the only one that brings true purpose to our existence here on earth. I wish that all would heed the message of this song.

It is a song that steers the heart to a deeper, wider and higher consecration and commitment before the LORD JESUS: after all if you don't have JESUS, I really don't know what you have got that can truly and completely settle your heart's yearning for real joy and eternal peace in a world vexed in transient transition and certain uncertainties like our ever changing weather.

Here is the song that has always bring me to deeper consecration to my Lord Jesus.

And by His grace align myself more to the Saviour's cross, my heart is tuned more to the narrow way that the Lord has paved to take to Eternal Bliss.

It has been a great delight to sing this song to my soul over and over, and to minister with it to the Lord's People over the years.

I have always loved to sing this song and thought I did so from my heart. Until I was taken to a place where I lost everything. How I struggled 'against the pricks' and tried to protect myself against loss. But finally my Dear Jesus was able to bring me to the place of surrender where I was able to say: 'Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him. Yes to Jesus for whatever He desires.' Now my heart can truly sing the words: 'Oh the joy of having all in Jesus, Nothing else in all the world beside.' What a joy to learn to trust that Love.

Thank You for Your love my Lord Jesus. I need Your help not to forget these words anymore :"Never a sin so great, but He'll forgive it,

Nor a sorrow that He does not feel!
If I have but Jesus, only Jesus,
Nothing else in all the world beside—
O then everything is mine in Jesus;

For my needs and more He will provide." So may I live a life of a winner.

I'm so thankful to my Lord for such a wonderful reality. Had I not met the Lord when I did, I don't know where I'd be. By His mercy He is keeping me from a life of emptiness, seeking success and a revered name. Praise Him! NONE OF THESE THINGS ARE WORTH COMPARING WITH A MERE MOMENT WITH A CHRIST-FILLED LIFE! Thank You Lord Jesus for Your great mercy! A worthless sinner but chosen and loved by You, thank You Lord! If I have but Jesus, only Jesus! Praise our glorious Lord!
