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.

How firm a foundation (Alternate Tune)

Assurance and Joy of Salvation A Firm Foundation

English339b
1
How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in His excellent word!
What more can He say than to you He hath said,
To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?
2
“Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismayed,
For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid;
I’ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand.”
3
“When through the deep waters I call thee to go,
The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow;
For I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless,
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.”
4
“When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,
My grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply;
The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design
Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.”
5
“E’en down to old age all My people shall prove
My sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love;
And then, when grey hairs shall their temples adorn,
Like lambs they shall still in My bosom be borne.”
6
“The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose,
I will not, I will not desert to his foes;
That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
I’ll never, no, never, no, never forsake!”

Praise Him! He will NEVER, no never, no never forsake. He meets every need, no matter how small. He delights in filling us with Himself and joining us to Himself in us! In this He meets every need. Oh, what a God have we!

The firmest foundation for the born again Christian is the Lord Jesus Himself, who is the chief cornerstone that the builders rejected (Psalm 118 verse 22, 1 Peter 2 verse 6, 7). For a person to become a Christian that person has to repent of their sin and believe that the Lord Jesus took away their sin on the cross at Calvary, and rose from the dead. (Mark 1 verse 5, Romans 1 verses 3 and 4).

Without the Lord Jesus as Saviour and Lord, the is no spiritual foundation at all, but only sinking sand (Matthew 7 verses 24 to 29).

I just figured out all the three stages of the believer's life in this hymn reference to our salvation—Justification, Sanctification, and Glorification

The writer presents clearly:

1. The assurance of our standing—on the only reliable/ dependable foundation.

2. The assurance of our progress in our walk as we go through life.

3. The assurance of us going right through to glory.

What blessed assurance "He is able to keep you [all believers] from falling and to present you [all believers] faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy"- Jude 24

Most hymnals simply list the author of this hymn as "K" because he wanted to remain anonymous. The hymn was 1st published in 1787 in a hymnbook put together by John Rippon, a Baptist minister in London. While the author remained a mystery for a while, most musicologists now agree that John Rippon's assistant, Robert Keene, was probably the author.

The title of the hymn was "Scripture Promises," and in that 1787 hymnbook these words from 2 Peter 1:4 were printed above the 1st stanza: "Great and precious promises." Each stanza of the hymn emphasizes a different promise in God's Word, with the great climax coming on the last verse, "The soul that on Jesus still leans for repose ... I'll never, no, never, no, never forsake.!" - Great Songs of Faith by Brown & Norton

I love this tune. I have written my own lyrics to this tune. Here is the first verse:

Great grace of our Lord, so sublime and so great;
There is no other love that can ever equate.
Though others may leave us, our lovers, our friends;
Thy love, O thy love Lord, thy love never ends.

Thank God that eternal salvation is not about works; it is all about abiding in the Vine, Jesus Christ.

John15:1 and 6a

I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman...If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered...

It speaks about the assurance of salvation. Many think that salvation of a believer will be lost. I don't know how it can be lost when salvation is God's work, and how can man sustain it by his own works and not by God's grace!!
