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 shall I follow Him I serve

Consecration Following the Lord

English462
1
How shall I follow Him I serve?
How shall I copy Him I love?
Nor from those blessed footsteps swerve,
Which lead me to His seat above?
2
Privations, sorrows, bitter scorn,
The life of toil, the mean abode,
The faithless kiss, the crown of thorn—
Are these the consecrated road?
3
Lord, should my path through suff’ring lie,
Forbid it I should e’er repine;
Still let me turn to Calvary,
Nor heed my griefs, rememb’ring Thine.
4
O let me think how Thou didst leave
Untasted every pure delight,
To fast, to faint, to watch, to grieve,
The toilsome day, the homeless night:
5
To faint, to grieve, to die for me!
Thou camest, not Thyself to please;
And, dear as earthly comforts be,
Shall I not love Thee more than these?

LOVING, FEEDING, AND FOLLOWING

---------------

... We must follow Him in our spirit. We must exercise our heart to love Him—to love is a heart matter (Mark 12:30). But to follow the Lord is a matter of the spirit, for the Lord today is in our spirit (1 Cor. 6:17). We must simply love Him with our heart and follow Him by exercising our spirit; then we will be nourished by Him. With the nourishment by which we are nourished, we may then feed His lambs. This is absolutely nothing of religion. Do not think that you need to know the Bible, go to a seminary or Bible college, and receive a religious education. You do not need that. You need the first, best, and genuine love for the Lord Jesus. The Lord asked Peter, “Do you love Me more than these? ” We must answer, “Yes, Lord, You know that I love You. ” The service of the Lord in this New Testament dispensation is not a matter of knowledge or education but absolutely a matter of loving the Lord. The degradation of the church began with the loss of this—“I have one thing against you, that you have left your first love” (Rev. 2:4). As long as we have the first, best, and genuine love for the Lord, we are safe. Then we must follow Him who is in our spirit. We love Him with all our heart, and we follow Him by our spirit; then whatever we do is just to feed His lambs. Praise the Lord!

When Josiah Conder left school in 1802 at the age of 13, he didn't leave the world of books. His father was a bookseller in London, and young Conder joined his father's business. At 25 he became publisher of a magazine and later the editor of a newspaper. An evangelical, he frequently opposed the action of the established church, and faced determined opposition. He said his best hymns were written in times of trial or change.

When Conder lay dying at the age of 66, he asked to have his poems read. The last stanza of one of them, which he asked to have read 3 times, is

"Beset with fears and cares,
in Him my heart is strong.
All things in life and death are theirs,
who to the Lord belong."

One of his children said after the 3rd reading, "Now you can sleep on that." "Oh yes," responded Josiah, "and die upon it." - Great Songs of Faith by Brown & Norton

---------------------

There are 2 additional stanzas in the original, which are usually omitted.

Original stanza 3 between 2 and 3 above:

’Twas thus He suffered, though a Son,
Foreknowing, choosing, feeling all,
Until the perfect work was done,
And drunk the bitter cup of gall.
------------------------------
The original last stanza, following the last stanza above:
Yes, I would count them all but loss,
To gain the notice of Thine eye:
Flesh shrinks and trembles at the cross,
But Thou canst give the victory.
