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.

Now in a song of grateful praise

Praise of the Lord His Goodness

English168
1
Now in a song of grateful praise,
To Thee, O Lord, my voice I’ll raise;
With all Thy saints I’ll join to tell,
My Savior has done all things well.
 
And above the rest this note shall swell,
This note shall swell, this note shall swell,
And above the rest this note shall swell,
My Savior has done all things well.
2
How sov’reign, wonderful and free,
Has been Thy love to sinful me!
Thou sav’dst me from the jaws of hell;
My Savior has done all things well.
3
Since e’er my soul has known His love,
What mercies He has made me prove,
Mercies which do all praise excel,
My Savior has done all things well.
4
And when on that bright day I rise,
And join the anthems of the skies,
Above the rest this note shall swell,
My Savior has done all things well.

It is said that Samuel Medley wrote 230 hymns. His hymns are marked by the spirit of praise and worship. He was born at Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, June 23, 1738. He was first apprenticed to an oilman in London, but disliking it he exercised his legal right to finish his term in the Royal Navy.

In 1755 he served aboard King George the Second’s ship the “Buckingham” and was transferred to the “Intrepid” under Admiral Boscawen.

In 1759 he was severely wounded in the leg during the Battle of Cape Largos with the French. He went to be with his grandfather, Mr. Tongue who endeavored to bring Samuel into a different and better kind of life.

One Lord’s day evening Mr. Tongue stayed at home with Samuel to read to him hoping to reach his heart. He read a sermon by Isaac Watts on Isaiah 42:6-7. Samuel’s eyes were opened and he received the One that had been preached to him and was brought out of bondage into freedom. After his health was restored he listened to the preaching of George Whitefield.

Mr. Medley was assured of a promotion in the Navy but resigned and opened a school near Seven Dials.

He married in 1762 and moved his school to King Street, Soho. He began preaching the Word In 1766 and in 1767 he became pastor of the Baptist Church in Watford, Hertfordshire, and later moved to Liverpool in 1772. The Lord blessed his work and he was especially helpful to sailors. When nearing death, a friend said to him, “Sir, Christ is your center. ” “Yes, yes, he replied, “He is, He is! ” Later he added “I am now a poor, shattered bark, just about to gain the blissful harbor, and, oh, how sweet will be the port after the storm! ” Again he said, “Dying is sweet work! My Heavenly Father! I am looking up to my dear Jesus. My God, my portion, my all in all! ” He continued, “Glory! Glory! Home! Home! ” and then passed away in peace on July 17, 1799.

('Now in a song of grateful praise'). The chorus used to be sung at Methodist Circuit teas as a refrain to the grace 'We thank the Lord for this our food', and/or 'Be present at our table, Lord', to the same tune.
