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.

Who is on the Lord’s side

Consecration Fighting with the Lord

English469
1
Who is on the Lord’s side?
Who will serve the King?
Who will be His helpers,
Other lives to bring?
Who will leave the world’s side?
Who will face the foe?
Who is on the Lord’s side?
Who for Him will go?
 
By Thy grand redemption,
By Thy grace divine,
We are on the Lord’s side;
Savior, we are Thine.
2
Not for weight of glory,
Not for crown and palm,
Enter we the army,
Raise the warrior psalm;
But for love that claimeth
Lives for whom He died;
He whom Jesus nameth
Must be on His side.
3
Jesus, Thou hast bought us,
Not with gold or gem,
But with Thine own life-blood,
For Thy diadem;
With Thy blessing filling
Each who comes to Thee,
Thou hast made us willing,
Thou hast made us free.
4
Fierce may be the conflict,
Strong may be the foe,
But the King’s own army
None can overthrow.
Round His standard ranging
Victory is secure,
For His truth unchanging
Makes the triumph sure.
5
Chosen to be soldiers
In an alien land:
Chosen, called, and faithful,
For our Captain’s band;
In the service royal
Let us not grow cold;
Let us be right loyal,
Noble, true, and bold.

For someone who struggled with illness much of her life, Frances Ridley Havergal wrote a remarkable number of vigorous, robust hymns. The last manuscript she worked on was "Starlight through the Shadows", a book for invalids. She died before she could complete the book, but her sister added the final chapter from Havergal's unpublished papers. That chapter is entitled "Marching Orders" and concludes with the words of this hymn.

The hymn is based on 1 Chronicles 12:1-18. In the biblical text, the early followers of David are listed: archers and slingers, experts in running and swimming. David asked them whose side they were on, and they responded: "We are yours, David! We are on your side" (1 Chronicles 12:18). - Great Songs of Faith by Brown and Norton

In the original, there is no chorus, but there are 4 extra lines on the end of each stanza. The last 4 lines of each stanza have the same last 3 lines except for the final stanza 5. Here are the last 4 lines of each stanza:

1. By Thy call of mercy,
by Thy grace divine,
We are on the Lord's side -
Savior, we are Thine.

2. By Thy love constraining,
by Thy grace divine,
We are on the Lord's side -
Savior, we are Thine.

3. By Thy grand redemption
by Thy grace divine,
We are on the Lord's side -
Savior, we are Thine.

4. Joyfully enlisting,
by Thy grace divine,
We are on the Lord's side -
Savior, we are Thine.

5. Master Thou wilt keep us,
by Thy grace divine,
Always on the Lord's side -
Savior, we are Thine.

Well, the elections are over. Whether your candidate won or not, I believe this election was a unique call for all Christians to make a choice about their stand for God and His divine plan for this country's future. Our hope is not in who won but Who is, Who was and Who will forever be. Jesus Christ is our hope and our eternal joy.

"He who Jesus nameth, must be on His side"

2 Timothy 2:19 says "Let everyone who names the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness". 1 Kings 18:21 says "How long will you go hopping between two opinions? If Jehovah is God, follow Him; but if Baal is, follow him."

This hymn is a call to those who name the Lord's name that they would consecrate themselves to follow the Lord Jesus. It is a call to cut the compromise of worldly ties, and to take our stand as ones belonging to Christ, fighting for Christ. And it is in the Lord's loving redemption and by His grace that we may find our motivation and strength to take this stand.

Praise the Lord! Lord, we love You, because You first loved us, and purchased us at the cost of Your own life. Make us ever, only, all for You Lord Jesus!

I like this song because--(as I recall) my parents liked it--I think I "fell in love" with this hymn as a young boy, perhaps around age 7.

"Let us be right loyal

Noble, true, and bold."

....The message is true and its tone is one of worship and rallying troops to our duty for our Lord as Christians.
