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.

The love of God is greater far

Worship of the Father His Love

English28
1
The love of God is greater far
Than tongue or pen can ever tell.
It goes beyond the highest star
And reaches to the lowest hell.
The guilty pair, bowed down with care,
God gave His Son to win;
His erring child He reconciled
And pardoned from his sin.
 
O love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure—
The saints’ and angels’ song.
2
When hoary time shall pass away,
And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall;
When men who here refuse to pray,
On rocks and hills and mountains call;
God’s love, so sure, shall still endure,
All measureless and strong;
Redeeming grace to Adam’s race—
The saints’ and angels’ song.
3
Could we with ink the ocean fill,
And were the skies of parchment made;
Were every stalk on earth a quill,
And every man a scribe by trade;
To write the love of God above
Would drain the ocean dry;
Nor could the scroll contain the whole,
Though stretched from sky to sky.

This compliment is our family's favorite praise, every time our extended family gathers, we sing together, last year July 2018 we sang together with our eldest brother and it was the last year we sang together. July 28, 2019 we sang this song again in the funeral service of our eldest brother, our separation in the love of God that cannot be described by human words. with God's love also we will meet in the new Jerusalem.

Ordinary words of man can not discribe the unfailing love of God neither can human brain fartom His divinity. This is really a life transforming song that can not be obsolete.

God's love is immeasurable.
God's love is boundless.
Romans 8:38-39 reads:

[38] For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,

[39] nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I earnestly desire and pray to see The Lord daily.

Would drain the ocean dry;

I used to hear my favorite Christian singer, George Beverly Shea, voice this song at Billy Graham crusades, and to this day its words still echo within my soul. For years I led a Bible study at the chemical plant where I worked as an engineer, one of the attendees, Jim, told me that he too was blessed by this song in his life during his time in Viet Nam and how God used it to sustain him through some very ugly times there. When you read Romans 8:35-39 and lift your soul in prayer to the living God, His power in you and me will sustain us through whatever he appoints for us this side of heaven. Please remember, "Nothing ... will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. May God's love for you penetrate deeply into your life and it will have its effect on you. May He be blessed!!

Where can I buy a CD with this original song on it? I know Mercy Me has a rendition of this hymn but I want to buy the original one. Thank you for your response.

The words more than tongue can tell were etched on my mind and heart after hearing that George & Barbara Bush’s daughter, Robin, has used them to describe her live for them. I couldn’t remember why they seemed so familiar to me. I went looking for the words and found this wonderful hymn that I learned as a child. To be reminded of just how dearly God loves me, at this moment in time, brings great comfort to my broken heart. God is enough! His love endures forever. Praise His name!

God's love is too great to be described by mere words of man.... The fourth stanza is just a blessing, that were all the ocean filled with ink and all men scribes, His all these would be insufficient to tell of His love to us..

His love, so unlike ours, is always the ultimate bottom line. There is nothing beyond it, nothing besides it, nothing behind it - but His heart of love.

This partial verse came to me as I was waking up this morning, I had to write it somewhere.

When Jesus died upon the cross,
My every sin on Him was laid;
He took those sins and made them naught
My heart was changed, my debt was paid.
