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.

O God, our help in ages past

Experience of God As the Dwelling Place

English607
1
O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home.
2
Under the shadow of Thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is Thine arm alone,
And our defence is sure.
3
Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting Thou art God,
To endless years the same.
4
A thousand ages in Thy sight
Are like an evening gone;
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.
5
Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
They fly forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the opening day.
6
O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Be Thou our guard while life shall last,
And our eternal home.

Three years ago, My daughter was in ICU just 3days after her birth. The only song that came to my mind was this one. I don't know if I ever knew the song before this time. But that was what I kept singing. She came out of ICU 7 days later. We didn't do a naming ceremony but her name was Menorah (Zech4:4), Ezumike (God has given me rest). Indeed she is over three years now and is doing so well with a very high IQ. Never fell ill for over a whole year in an area in Nigeria that was plagued with Malaria and Thyphoid and infections.

Woke up at 5. 10am with words going through my mind " Sufficient in Thine arm alone, And our defence is sure ". Then read all the verses and was so blessed and inspired:

" O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home.
2
Under the shadow of Thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is Thine arm alone,
And our defence is sure.
(And the rest of the hymn-Hallelujah! ).

I woke up thanking God for who He is and all He created. I stumbled on this verse of the scripture 👇🏽👇🏽

Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations. Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God. Psalms 90:1‭-‬2 NIV

The world right now seems a difficult place to live in, I had to sing this song to remind myself that "LIVING IN GOD" is the only solution to maintaining ones sanity. It is well

A mighty fortress is my God! A bulwark that never fails. It is 22:37pm on 2nd January 2021, Just laid down on my bed after a stressful day. On reflection 2020 has been very trying, turmoiltous and challenging I have been very depressed though I lie tried to convince myself that am not because I know God got me. To God be the glory despite all odds I and my house did not beg for bread and even gave out. I may not know what 2021 holds bit I know God has been my help in ages past and surely he is the God that changeth not and he created 2021. I therefore commit to him my all for his plans to unfold for me and my family. Thanks @ hymnal.net for this evergreen hymns. " before the hills in order stood, or earth received its frame, from everlasting thou art God and endless years the same" Glory!
