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.

Beneath the cross of Jesus

Glorying in the Cross The Refuge

English621
1
Beneath the cross of Jesus
I fain would take my stand,
The shadow of a mighty Rock
Within a weary land;
A home within the wilderness,
A rest upon the way,
From the burning of the noontide heat,
And the burden of the day.
2
Oh, safe and happy shelter!
Oh, refuge tried and sweet!
Oh, trysting place where heaven’s love
And heaven’s justice meet.
As to the holy patriarch
That wondrous dream was given,
So is my Savior by the cross
A ladder up to heaven.
3
There lies beneath its shadow,
But on the farther side,
The darkness of an awful grave
That gapes both deep and wide;
And there between us stands the cross,
Two arms outstretched to save,
Like a watchman set to guard the way
From that eternal grave.
4
Upon that cross of Jesus
Mine eye at times can see
The very dying form of One,
Who suffered there for me;
And from my smitten heart, with tears,
Two wonders I confess,
The wonders of His glorious love,
And my own worthlessness.
5
I take, O cross, thy shadow
For my abiding place;
I ask no other sunshine than
The sunshine of His face;
Content to let the world go by,
To know no gain nor loss,
My sinful self my only shame,
My glory all the cross.

This hymn came to my mind today, and I googled the phrase which was coming to me. The internet gives 5 verses. I went to my Baptist Hymnal and searched for it, and there was 3 of the 5 verses in the hymnal. All the verses are powerful... the cross of Christ is where our salvation lies... everything we need is found in the cross of Christ. This hymn ministers to my soul today.

Last line :

"my glory all the cross" is old style English meaning all (or any) glory I may share is on account of the Cross.

Thanks Gavin Barnett, this line is beautiful and poetic and I appreciate your read and interpretation of it!

This song came to mind during my devotion this morning. I only remembered a few lines and looked it up. This hymn is a reminder to fix my affections on things above.." I ask no other sunshine than the sunshine of His face."

Christ Is Sufficient..

I love these old hymns ... thanks for making them available.

Thank you. In my quiet time this morning I was reading a book by Andrew Murray and something he said caused me to return to my childhood and hearing this song in church. What a great song. What a glorious Savior.

In my prayer time this morning I went into the deep recesses of my mind as I was focusing on the 5 Fold Benefits of the Cross and this hymn came to me. Thank you. I loved singing ALL the verses. I have been a believer over 50 years and still admin all of His Glorious love and my unworthiness. ❤️

Thank you. I didn't remember the name of the hymn. I was just remembering most of the words of the fourth verse.

Dave, that was beautiful! Thanks for sharing. I read a quote in Streams in the Desert that seems appropriate. "Call nothing small if it bears us His message." That ray of sun brought the Son near that day.

This song has been in my head all morning.

I started singing it aloud as I walked outside to take in my mail after the rain.

“I take, O cross, thy shadow
For my abiding place;
I ask no other sunshine than
The sunshine of His face; ”

Right before I got to “I ask no other sunshine…” the sun came out and shined down on me.

Amazing.

A great reminder to fix my attention on His face. And now another hymn comes to mind, “…look full in His wonderful face. ”

I’m going to put my phone down now and do that without distraction for a bit.

My Jesus!
