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.

Abide with me! fast falls the eventide

Longings For Fellowship with Christ

English370
1
Abide with me! fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide!
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me.
2
Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day;
Earth’s joys grow dim, its glories pass away;
Change and decay in all around I see;
O Thou who changest not, abide with me.
3
Come not in terrors, as the King of kings;
But kind and good, with healing in Thy wings:
Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea;
Come, Friend of sinners, thus abide with me.
4
I need Thy presence every passing hour:
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s power?
Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, oh, abide with me.
5
I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless:
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness:
Where is death’s sting? where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.

I was so happy to hear this hymn on the opening of the Olympics Ceremony in London. It touched my heart and my husband and I started praying for revival in the UK again. I've been singing the song since then and I came across this website whilst searching for it online. It's so powerful and anointed!!

Surprised but delighted to hear this popular hymn sung so movingly by Emeli Sandé during the Opening Ceremony of the London Olympics (July) 2012.

This song has just reconnected me to the source of HOPE and PEACE. A few moments ago, I was feeling my world crumpling before me. Financial and social burdens lay heavily on me. I feared the future. I could not see a way out. I still do not have the solutions I so much need now as I am typing. But the hopelessness and heaviness in my soul has given way to a relief and hope I cannot easily explain as I listened to this song and joined in singing the lyrics. I can only say that the God of heaven is real and that He has just touched me with His love through this song. He is caring and faithful indeed.

This is a very soothing and comforting song. My grandma used to sing very oft. Reminds me of the time spent reading the Scripture and singing songs with her.

Singing "Abide With Me" today in church, I was moved to tears by the touching lyrics and memories of singing this at dear friends' funerals. Lyte's poem speaks to me especially now as I enter the later years of life. How wondrous to be connected with Christ and His followers through this great hymn! Thank you.

With the light praise and worship music of today, we are blessed by the great love of Christ so eloquently expressed in this hymn. How I love to hear and sing of His care for me and all mankind.

Following up Joey's comment (Dec. 13, 2009) I visited the grave of Lyte in the churchyard in Nice, France in 2004 - a simple cross duly inscribed on the flat stone on which it rests. I took a photograph of it.

There are three more verses to the original hymn, as follows:

Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word,
But as Thou dwellest with Thy disciples Lord,
Familiar, condescending, patient, free,
Come not to sojourn, but abide with me.

Thou on my head in early youth did smile,
And though rebellious and perverse meanwhile,
Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee,
On to the close, O Lord, abide with me.

Hold then Thy cross before my closing eyes,
Speak through the gloom, and point me to the skies,
Heaven's morning breaks and earth's vain shadows flee!
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me!

The third verse above being the final one.
